Man, I'm still really torn. On the one hand, I have an awesome set of 4" wheels that I could build a bike around, and I think that the "anything goes" category is a natural fit for me. On the other hand, I have a cool 40s DX frame, and some awesome various vintage parts that I've been hanging on to, such as some skip tooth military wheels, sweet Columbia chain guard, etc., so that I'm thinking just building a simple rat from all those cool parts would be more in line with the original build off traditions, and it might be more unexpected coming from me.

I may not know until this summer which way I'm going.
 
Anything goes. Im in. I found this big pile of amf goodness ready to chop up into something crazy to ride. I hope I can pull this off in 90 days. The last one of these took me 8 years to build...if you know what I mean. Justin might. I better start buying metal cause this ones gonna be heavy! Cant wait.

Can't wait to see another creation from your shop. You do amazing work.

Black frame up front?
 
I'm guessing it's buried under all those bikes out of view....but the Evinrude tank idea is sweet!
I can't even begin to figure out what I want to do now! I have at least 3 options and endless possibilities now that it's normal/anything goes, I just wish I could've paid someone to build something for me though! I guess I'll send numerous pm's until I can! :lol:

























joking ?
 
I hope to join in on the MADNESS this year and not flake out like I did last year, but I still got tons of stuff to do around the house before bikes can be built, the yard, the fence, some plumbing, some electric, and SETTING UP THE WORKSHOP IN THE GARAGE.
And then deciding what to do. Should I build an aluminum honeycomb composite CHOPPER to go with my other AHC bikes (the track bike inspired Captin America Razor Bike, and the 102 inch long stretch the Alumasled) in the anything goes catagory, or build a girls BEER BIKE for Crazy Mae (we have had beer tasteings to get the beer labels and I got a CWC girls frame), or do I rat out the Swing Bike. What to do?
Hope it warms up soon so I can get on the non bike projects so I play with bikes this summer.

Acutally, that Evinrude would make an excellent skirt/rack/fender combo pretty easily.
