Let's make magic happen
How much time do you have invested in your BO bike .
Between finding the right bike and digging thru your stash to find the right part . Then customizing those parts .
Stripping paint then primer and paint .
Covering seats .
Assembling and then changing parts.
Ordering more parts.
Dissemble bike and start all over

I'm doing this as a pastime. It literally passes the time. No tracking for me, the way I work is madness. I set up a few projects in different areas, and kinda drift from one to the next. Especially useful when doing paint. Set up the area, clean up the parts, hang em to dry, do that thing over there, eat a snack, wipe down the parts with alcohol, go get dressed, paint for a while, mow the lawn, spray some more paint, take some pictures, have a little beverage, fix a disaster in the basement, more paint... I'm kinda curious about how much time I've spent on it though. More involved in this Build Off bike than any other (excluding the ongoing patination process for Rock Rat, 25 years and still needs more work
)

oh my, The Final Countdown!
If @furyus doesn't pop back in, we may be looking for volunteer(s) to help skim through the finished bike threads and help compile the voting threads. It's a bunch of work as previous volunteers can attest to, but necessary for success
#1 - this is still looming large. Typically in the past a good natured soul or two have taken the time to gather all the details and compile everything. It's a huge help. If anyone thinks they can help, just PM one of the staff and we can start that dialogue
#2 - as a point of clarification for those that have asked. There is NO MANDATE that you submit a ride video to be considered complete or eligible for voting. That is just some fun and extra flair and in the past was reserved just in case anyone's rideability came into question. With the new forum software updates it is however much easier to do so. It used to be intimidating for those not tech savvy or without YouTube accounts
#3 - I am running out of time to finish

Shut up, really? How did I get the fifteenth in my head as the deadline? I gotta get moving!
And check your Conversations mail box for a letter to all builders on the final stages of the build off. Let's try to get those builds across the 'Finished line' builders!
5 days left
Big thanks to @kingfish254 for volunteering to put together all of the voting threads. It's a lot of work and very much appreciated
