It was for some other Jake. I tried to force it to page Dr Sensei, but my batphone is outta order
I'm officially in. Just picked a nice patina roadmaster at Memory lane swap. Going back tomorrow morning to stock up on accessories. I've been looking forward to this

Yamaha!
That's the same frame that I chose for my first build off. Unfortunately I ran out of time and motivation on mine and used the one swap rule in the last month. Looking forward to this one!

I have been contemplating a build like this. Ran across this when looking for a complete one for a friend. it has been poorly repaired according to photos. I’m thinking a nice stretch out front, Ness, Perewitz 70s digger style.

While you're rethinking the dimensions, remember that it is a 20" bike. Maybe you can make it bigger all the way around while you're at it! I was trying to do that with mine but was limited to the no cutting or welding rule at the time.

The build off doesn't start until May 1st. The build journal forum location will be open at that time.
Hi Keith, there will be a new thread up on May 1 that will have a listing for each class, I and II. It will appear at the top of the Forums as a part of the RRB BO # 17.
Thank you much kingfish
Thank you much Oddjob
I don't know about the others, but the Berlin campground will be in again this year, although only for a short period on the campground, as we have planned a few trips within Germany for this summer.
But as I plan to stay small this year with a bike for the kid, I might convert the balcony to my workshop. We will see...
Many different builds in my head, but I still think I will end up building the Uncle Stretch frame that I scored.

Will there be hidden gadgets as in a spy car?
Naw, I don't like getting too locked into a "theme build". It's just a silly play on U.N.C.L.E. Stretch.
With that being said, you never know what kinda doodaddery or geegaw I might throw on a build.
Will the bike be a quick take down and reassembled into a rifle?Many different builds in my head, but I still think I will end up building the Uncle Stretch frame that I scored.

I remember having these Agent Zero M toys as a kid. But no need to lower the cone of silence. My build won't be a secret agent build, even though it does bring up some cool ideas.
