KIDS RAT ROD BIKE BUILD OFF POLL

[Rat Rod]

Kenny Kenny Kenny....trying to force me to make a rule aren't you!

Sounds like you could make another one at that price. :mrgreen:

haha I've already started on mine, will post pics soon.

as far as a deadline goes, there was talk of a May deadline i think. That should give people enough time to build and shovel snow

 

[ponytailmike]

the may 1 deadline was just an option
thinking it would give us a little over two months
steve do you think you could give us a build thread???
it would allow us builders to keep things all in one place
and allow us to post progress
not asking for any thing special if it is too much trouble though
p.s. steve thanks for the ratrodbikes web site. it feels so much like home!!!

what were the rules again??? :?

 

[Rat Rod]

I will start a new forum for this build off....like I did with the diamond frame build off.

 

[skoda]

Maybe time it based on when it gets above 50 degrees (intermittantly) in our "viewing area". That should be, what, May-ish??

Does it have to be a kids bike? I have a 20" frame that I've been wanting to build up and haven't gotten to yet but its kinda sorta but not really a folder...Kelly

 

[OUTLAW]

when, i'll try, i have that webco, i cut up, shame on me. was thinking about giving it to hutch, but have been looking at it and thinking i would use it for the buildoff, if i can get my other 5 bikes done. would need to get another doner for some parts. any ideas on what i am thinking? so, will we post pic before, during, after? whats the game plan? i know, no rules lol.

This thread made me think about a bike I built a long time ago, probably when I was 14. So about 8 or 9 years ago. Its a 16" boys frame with a 27" fork, 12" front wheel. Painted the frame a metallic green and the rims black. I guess its technically my first rat. I think me and my friend tried riding it once (obviously it was too small and very tiring due to the short crank) so its been hanging like you see it in the pic ever since. Just thought I'd share the pic with you guys
