All winter I have been looking forward to this build off. But for the last month for some reason I have been trying to talk myself out of the Build Off

To busy, not enough money, to many bike projects going on, Etc.

Well I have decided to build the bike I have been thinking about all winter. The last two build offs were some of the most fun I have ever had.

Plus I think this build will motivate me to get some of my other things done. :wink:



The bike....

I will use a 24x3 rear tire should fit with no issues


Sorry about the bad pic
Just working out some ideas in my head. One thing I learned building BlueX is that 31" from Bottom Bracket to the center of the seat is a perfect
set up for me for riding

Just need to "Bob" the fender and build supports :wink: the seat post tube will be cut off above the top tubes
Reference pic of blueX to show how far back the seat is

Sweet start man! Is this one going to have more of an upright stance or boardtracker like the Blue-X?

More like the BlueX I don't know how to sit up :roll: :wink:
 
Very cool, I'll be keepin an eye on this one for sure! Got any ideas on colour? How 'bout making it a "Yellow Y"? :roll: :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist, I'm still in awe of the X. That was the bike that made me want to try a set-back seatpost myself!
