Rookie builds by veteran builders

My first Build off from BONINE. Scratch from couch frame.

Almost a recumbent with handlebars. That frame is still hanging around somewhere. Probably sitting on something to keep it from blowing away. Heheheh.

If someone hasn't logged on in a specific timeframe they don't show in that filter. You can still manually enter their name though

My first build after joining RRB in 2011, I believe? This was my first ever build beyond modifying my childhood bike over the years.
The struggle of trying to build in my 1 bedroom apartment in NYC lol!

Mock-up

Final

Haven't talked with @Jake Sensi in a while, but I am sure he will be joining the fun. Both of us have built in every main build off since our rookie BO6 year. I'll give him a holler and see when he plans to come out of ninja mode.

Rattled...

Wish I still had it.
