I would drive 4 hrs. to get to that bike shop without batting an eye ! Some cool stuff hanging around in there.

I was going to buy a couple of them, but remembered I can't afford a month's pension. I wanted one of the bare frames hanging in that big row, but they weren't for sale, just the complete bikes. I nearly sprung for the X-53, but $750 is out of my range.
Lots of you have two bikes in these build. I originally had a different idea for my build (and have also had to do a frame swap) but I still have my first idea and bike... I also have a lot on my plate right now, but I work on my current build in the wee hours. But there's that other bike in my rafters... looking down at me... So, I decided to tag team this build, or I suppose first and second half builds. I'm going to try, when I get Dead Metal done, to build a hillclimber...

X2 on the Second Half Bike
My first orbo bike, went on the back burner until the bomber is done. Much more exciting bike to me, and I am slowly acquiring parts for the warrior. Warrior will be my 2nd Half Bike.

I like how this ORBO has evolved from the past WBO. I'd like to see it return annually, these bikes seem to be the most all weather too. Kludging thru snow and muck is easy compared to riding a cruiser, muscle or road bike. I've had a bike in the rafters a year, waiting to possibly be my second entry. I have no problem holding on to it till next year... come on ORBO II.

There has certainly been some good vibes coming out of this build-off, and quite a few builders saying how much they love riding their new bikes, bringing back memories of their school days BMX's and the like...
We already have people asking about a return to the open Winter build-off, and some asking about a sex change build-off, a gravity bike build-off and a couple of others... So not sure what will happen, but there is no doubt this has been good for the site.

Hmm, well we've had build offs with "Super Stock" and "Unlimited" divisions. Maybe a WBO with divisions like "Cruiser", "Off Road" and "Road Bike".

Just saw this Luke. I think with the response we had to the ORBO, and the new Klunkers & Mountain Bikes forum on Other Bikes, that we would have a high interest in doing ORBO II next winter! We could use @aka_locojoe 's new vid "I Be Klunkin'" and the Klunker Kalendar Top Ten ORBO 2016 to promote for next year as well.
Someone mentioned about about a Klunker section. That would be too cool also.
