*MBBO/ORBO* - So, who's in and for what category??

[Captain Awesome]

If i decide to give it a go, it will be a klunker or a bomber.
I have a frame and fork, rims, tires ( offroad and street), Enviolo hub, hydraulic disc brakes, disc brake adapters. Hmm sounds like a plan, looks like i just need handle bars

Talked yourself into it

I'm going to attempt to build a muscle bike that's halfway BMX. No paint this time, can't pull it off during winter. Apes, a nanner, mags... It'll be all rad! Thinking about a springer, but we'll see about that.

Can't wait to see it Matti

I'm in for the OR category. I want to do a vintage style bike, but probably won't find a decent frame so I'll enter the bike I'm making for the wife. Just picked up this frame from the scrapyard. I've got wheels and everything, just need a fork, tires and a paintjob.

If I keep healing at this rate, I'm in for a class one build (prob' w' a delayed start tho)

I'm in with a real old school bike 1962 schwinn of some sort.

If you'd rather a rusty fender for this, I'd happily trade you...

It's also the real deal not a repro.
So I'm in the MBBO for sure.
I also have my hands full. The crank is frozen as is what's left of the seat post. I do have the springs and a chrome 12"? front rim and tire (might be a 16" I'm in the house now...)

Spent part of the day yesterday checking on parts amassed for three of-road builds and just need grips for one of them and spokes for another. Looking at starting with a 26" BMX based on a 1968 Schwinn Heavy Duti, then moving on to restoration of a 1985 Schwinn Frameset MTB, and then a resto-mod of my 1989 Nishiki Alien. After cleaning the Alien frame up, I may take the fork to the local auto parts store to see if I can get some touch-up paint to match the Pearl White. It doesn't have a bunch of marring to the finish, but would look a lot better without it.

Muscle, I'm considering a few options to build up something around a NOS 90's Schwinn chrome springer fork I have. Since banana seats are an option as long as I have a fatter rear than front tire and ape hangers, it'll be something like the Opaque Blue Suburban I had.

 

[idiotboy]

I might be in for the off road category, I've been wanting to build a klunkerish bike for a while, got a frame a few years ago that I want to use, and some 20 year old mountain bike parts left over from "upgrades" that may be persuaded to fit. The question mark is time...

 

[barnbikes]

After being gone for a while I have ventured back.
Thing are getting slow at work finally. Maybe I will finally finish one on time.

quick preview...

while I have your attention, here's a long shot...

anybody have a 24x1.75 steel wheel with a 5-speed (or 6-speed) freewheel that you'd part with? somewhere along the line, someone put what looks like a 24" aluminum mountain bike wheel on the back of this. the front looks like the original narrow 24" steel wheel with the high flange hub and it looks cool so I want to use it, so I'm trying to find a steel wheel for the rear too. also would love to find a chain guard like this:

but that's another long shot, as they appear to be pricey when they turn up.

I will also throw together a BMX cruiser for the ORBO if a suitable 24" frame falls into my lap. I have a set of 24" cruiser wheels, a couple forks to choose from, and plenty of other random BMX parts...

 

[SSG]

I'm on the fence. With the last few build-offs as soon as I start building, I get swamped with something else and can't manage to get any work done on my bike. On the plus side it's starting to get cool enough to work outside.

 

[GTHOtrod]

I have almost collected enough cool parts to put together a sweet vintage MTB, so that would make sense. But having just finished my 26" 5speed BMX build, I wasn't planning to build the MTB as yet.
I would like to have a go at a 26" muscle bike. But I have basically nothing in stock, besides a couple girls frames for materials, and a 26x1 3/8 rim and tyre for the front.

So I will most likely have a crack at the MBBO

I'm in for a MBBO entry .

SO EXCITED !

Peed your pants again?? READY. SET.. GOOO...

 

[rat krate orange]

I had an idea for a 'new' type of seatpost extractor, but I'm not sure how fast I can work up some diagrams. I shared the basic concept with Kingfish, but it turned out he didn't need it on HEXy. Might PM you later.

I would like to see your drawings if you get around to them.. Thanks and good luck... RaToN.. Razin..

Hey Matti, what the heck is a NANNER?? Good luck with your build off bike.. RaToN... Razin..

That is a Murray Screamer chain guard that i too have been looking for.. Rare and spendy too... Good luck.. Razin..

I may have the wheel you’re looking for, I’ll check tomorrow or Monday when I can get into the cellar

That is an awesome frame.
