Rat Rod Bikes Build Off #14?

[Toeslider]

Ordered my FRONT ONLY shirt, so everyone can stop losing their minds. My comment about the price was more a reflection on me than Steve. I understand certain circumstances drive up the price, but I'm kind of a basic guy that sees the end product and the hole in my wallet and shakes my head. A lot of T-shirt and clothing prices have just gone off the charts stupid lately. When Performance Bike went out of business I grabbed a rack full of SE Racing clothes at 90% off and sold them on the BMX Museum forum for what I paid for them. $70 for a hoodie and $30 for a T shirt is too much, in my opinion. Then again, anything over $10 is too much to pay for a pair of Chucks, but that doesn't seem to keep people from buying them.

Thanks for the order @Toeslider

...and in preparation for the 14th annual Bicycle Build Off, Gerty and Tom have been in deep discussion. The Grease Slapper has been rode hard and put away wet more often than not. Only time will tell, if Gerty and the mild mannered and all around "Good Guy" Tom Slick, will be able to compete with the builders at Rat Rod Bikes. What direction is Gerty going to go with the build, and where is Marigold? Stay tuned...

Merle.

Next lot of parts came in for my build:

I could have made my own but these were so cheap including postage it wouldn't have been worth the effort.

Still waiting on some more bearings to come in and I should be set to go!

Can I ask what these are . I always been told , No such thing as a stupid question ?

If I told you, it would give my build away, tune in when the build-off starts!

You've already roped me in before it has even started. The narration should make for a fun build thread!

There are, in fact, stupid questions... like when my wife asks me “ Are you going to share your ice cream.?” or “ Do you really need another bicycle?”

 

[SkyknightJohn]

Looks to me like axles and pivot bearings, possibly akerman steering for a ratpole trike? (that would be a rat-ified tadpole). A rear-steer Granny Grocery Getter? Low-boy Dutch-boy cargo? Endless possibilities...

Looks like we have the same train of thought.

I already know we have another similar part, going to be interesting to see what we come up with!

Anyone else got some interesting parts to share? See if we can figure out what is going on?

I think it's just another disease , Maybe we should start another 12 step program ?

 

[David Cooksey]

For my build, I've ordered a couple of sheets of aluminium ....

Still haven't settled on a theme, other than something to do with rust and junk. Probably call it the Rustliner or maybe the Junkliner. [emoji38]
