I'm not real into BMX bikes myself, but this has me excited to see what you'll come up with! I wish I had a head badge in as good of shape as yours for my 26" Spitfire! What year is your Schwinn?

I’m really not sure! The headbadge really pops because I think it was touched up by hand at some point.

Now that I’ve finished my Phillips I can move back to this project. Here’s the rest of the parts I’ve rounded up for it.

Hello, I'm stepping in as the interim-Admin for this build-off since Captain Awesome is indisposed. There is discussion of changing the completion deadline to accommodate more builders. We'd like your opinion. Please vote here: https://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index...out-extending-the-mbbo-bmxbo-deadline.112979/

Thank you, and KEEP BUILDING!

Votes have been cast, and an extension of the MBBO/BMXBO deadline has been decided. The new deadline is:

March 1st at 9pm CT

GET TO BUILDIN'!

Found this and had to take care of it.

Now I have to do some paint work, but it was well worth it.

I built a cool little 20" last year and hung it from the ceiling in the jam room/studio I'm building. Build you some art and hang it.

You know that isn’t a bad idea. I bet I could fit this thing on my bookshelf!

Man these are looking great! I still am on track to finish on the 15th so after this I can finally move back to my abandoned pee wee Herman build.

First look. It’ll be a rideable bike today.

ALRIGHT! The Little Spitfire looks great! How's the ride quality?

It rides like a cloud honestly. I can sort of fit on it. It’s lighter than I thought it would be and even though I had to use short cranks it rides perfectly.
