[Funkme]

Last coat of varnish on the woodwork.
Skateboard

skimboard

Chainguard

Chainguard finished and mounted.

The bike together and rollin.

The rack mounted,just the box to be bolted on.

Christmas day,and a great day to build the board rack...
Starting with 2 x kids 18' or 20' forks,the bmx stem and the old chair.

These chairs are excellent for metal parts.

The design

Mounted onto the bike.

It has been sanded and primed.Just the color today.

Boxing Day ;;;;;

Mount the box
The plate
paint the rack
Brakes
Retouch the paint (the horse knocked the bike over,and marked the frame)
I think this list is never ending. Like 2 steps forward,1 step back...

For a bike that was suppose to be easy,it sure is making me pull my hair out...
I decided that ,I disliked the bent seat post,so I went with a straight one.I cut from the same chair,a longer post.Stuck it in and now cant get it out. It means that only I can ride the bike.Great to ride to the beach,but I feel like a clown. So today I will come up with another idea,as this is for a kid to ride,not me... From now on no more 20" bikes unless kids ask.So next years build-off?Will be a giant muscle bike.
Mounted front brakes(added safety)As recently I lost hydraulic front n rear brakes going down a steep hill on my scooter.
I aimed it at a old stone wall,managed to stop n stay on. With shopping still onboard.
But cracked the plastic casing that protects the fly wheel,and snapped all the blades.
Still works,will go and collect parts from a dumped bike.
So todays work:
Mount box
rear brakes
seat post AGAIN!
paint touch ups.

I want to be finished today,as we are having wonderful weather, and I want to ride it to the beach for pics...

Not sure there will be a MBBO next year, thinking about taking a break and doing an Adult BMX/MTB/Klunker BO instead...

Thats cool,I can only have so many muscle bikes... A kick scooter build off would be cool,or a wacky racer build...

But I am FINISHED !!!!

I'm having the same trouble it's been raining the past few days and not sure when it will clear up to bad we can't swap weather with Luke seems he was looking for wet weather.

Now and can catch up on everyone else's builds...

 

[Funkme]

Interbreeding.
Crossed Bmx brakes with MTB brakes. Needed them to be wider and longer to fit around the tires. I could have just mounted v-brakes to the frame(but that would have been just to easy)

Wooden surfboard plate with 1966. WHY? That was the year Good Vibrations was released.

The weather from N to NE.

The weather from S- SW
Beaches are both in those directions where I want to take photos...

Bike is outside in the rain.

Well it's waterproof at least

Maybe I might get a break with the weather tomorrow,between showers?

Just need some pics now...

9.30 in the morning here.
I see some blue sky n a bit of sun trying to peek throu...
Winds up to 40mph
7'c (feels like 1'c)
Everything is sopping wet,more rain on the way.
So here goes riding down to the beach will be easy.As the wind will push me,+ all downhill.
On the way back is another story...
I can do this,
I think I can
I think I can
I think I can...
