LESS THAN A WEEK!!!! oh... nevermind.

 

[mitchelangelo]

still sort of a newbie to this site.... I think I shall participate in this extravaganza bike building adventure ..RRBB07! The disease has taken control of my thoughts... everything looks like potential parts and ideas!!! Does anyone know a good bike-a-holic physician? "Take two Schvinns, and call me in the morning!".
Would it be permissible to have an extremely hot female model to help define and promote my contraption, I mean, astonishing project?
LOL
Looking forward to Rock'in in a new Rat with the RRB gang!

It's been done in the past, just make sure all content is family and work safe. :mrgreen:

Okay, now I have a bike, two cans of yellow paint, some vinyl decals, a can of white paint, a can of black paint, and a slick whitewall tire. I'm ready.

I have the bike(s) and a few ammo cans, a headlight, some material, and uhhh... I need to find a good deal on some OD paint.

Can't wait for may 1st to begin work on my second rrbo bike (did up a 65' Hawthorne step thru cruiser for my wife rrbo5) and it's gonna be way better than my first attempt a few years ago. I am thinking a boardtrack inspired fixie cruiser, as i've never even rode a fixie before. Have a 79' Huffy Good Vibrations cruiser frame and once I am done with it, i'm calling it "Menacing Vibrations", cuz after i'm done with it, nothing gonna be "good" about it.

One lame question... is the finish date August 1st? And I hope it does not have to be street legal (fixie without brakes).

I believe that is the finish date, and street legality has nothing to do with this, these are bicycles, not cars, because if we were building cars I would WANT to be building street legal, but these are bikes, make them as stupid as you wish. Though I don't agree with brakeless, people have done brakeless bikes in the buildoff, more for style than anything else (maybe they were just lazy :wink: ) but on a fixie, you still kind of have a way to stop without brakes... it's called crashing. (yes, I own a fixed gear)

So you mean the mercury filled auto-leveling turn signal thingy i bought was a waste of money???

No, not at all, break it and pour the mercury into your hand for hours of fun and the thrill of possible poisoning.

I will not be building a fixed gear sidecar tandem tall bike.

Why not?? That sounds interesting.

 

[brett4christ]

OK, since everyone else is, let's start my parts pile checklist ......

Flightliner Starter bike (complete with unwanted paint-over-chrome finish)....check! (Thanks, YG!)
Radical Vintage fork (from donor bike).....check!
Short-n-Fat tires.....check!
Alloy rims.....check!
Vintage Bendix coaster hub (from donor bike).....check!

Disassembly alone will probably take a week (to remove, clean, tag and store). I have to act fast, since I have to be able to take some key parts to get chromed 2 weeks later.

No need to wish me luck....Like Gold Street Customs said, He's all the help I need!

Why not?

1. Old
2. Lazy
3. Chicken

Take your pick. :lol:

We came close to making the last tall bike a tall swing bike... that would have been stupid as the 20" swing bike is hard enough to ride, and it's short! I rode it a couple miles this weekend, hard to ride 1 handed, impossible to ride standing up.

 

[Gold Street Customs]

It may take me 9 days to find where all my parts are, standard answer since I moved in. " they're in a box somewhere" .

 

[kingfish254]

I won't be starting until sometime after May 16, so I hope everyone enjoys the Headstart that I am giving you.

You are going to need the extra time!

I'm going to spend the next week cleaning my shop and organizing parts.
I'd like to use only parts that I have on hand...

LESS THAN A WEEK! Crap, nevermind again.

This is what I mostly did last year, parts on hand.

My dad just brought me two cruisers, both relatively new... one I have to fix and return, the other I can possibly use for the BO.

Too bad the one I can't keep has a springer fork... :roll:
