Here's my contender:
The BarrelBanana Lowrider

Finished thread from BO11 in 2016:

BarrelBanana Lowrider

May I present you the product of my first build off: The BarrelBanana Lowrider! It started off from a scrap fork, bent out of pure boredom and curiosity. Add in a frame bought cheap, some barrel staves collecting dust in the workshop, a few bike parts on stock, bought or donated by a friend...

I'm in again. With another Columbia like last year You might remember the derelict Newsboy I rescued on its way to the landfill Plan is for a 26" bmx/klunk/strandie thing and a few shiny surprises along the way. She won't be some super intense build with a ton of unobtanium vintage bits...

I'll play. Back in 2015 I discovered the Columbia Firebolt frames with the built in carriers and had to build a convertible out of a girls bike!

I decided to go the skinny tire route even though skinny didn't get the respect that it seems to be getting lately. lol

This is one of my favorites and I still ride it. I don’t ever place well but this one did worse then most

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Only 6 days left to NOT build your bike and post one that's already done.
It's the ultimate hibernation sport. You don't even have to go outside!
Show your best "almost was" You know you got one.

I don't remember what build-off this Western Flyer was for, or what place it came in.

Fairly long time ago. Probably 10 years ago. Frankenbike. No discrimination, parts from many USA brands. The frame was busted and repaired by welding but you can’t tell.
