Sidetrack Space: Build Off Highlights and Chat.

[OddJob]

We almost need sub groups to keep track of this build off. Your big car shows have M&M style or divide the by cars style or manufacture .
As it is now, I always need to look back at entry , to find out what
bike it started with ? Maybe next year .

At times we have had unofficial mini 'theoretical' build offs within the big one. Like all Spaceliners (think we have 3-4 now?) Hawthornes, Schwinns, etc. Not by 'style' but just by maker / model. And it was just kind of a fun comparison thing, not competitive. But it did help keep track of certain builds.

It would be a nightmare to try and "classify" each build. Many of the designs are fluid and evolve over the build.

Owner could then classify under "OTHER" or " NON OF YOUR BUSINESS "

Some guy ( a lot cleverer than me ) said the rich can have the bespoke made to show individuality , the rest look towards obsolescence to stand out

That's good stuff, man.

That's good stuff, man.

I didn't come up with that , I have no idea who did but they were bang on the money . I'm on the wrong continent to do this stuff really , I'm certainly not on the big bucks either . I'm a dumpster diver baby

Heads up, cats and kittens, Blackout is throwing parts you've never seen at frames you've never heard of. The field is deep, folks.

With a Dana? C'mon!

Whole lotta love for Ed Roth this year, and while I'm not denying Big Daddy is due, how about a little bit for his partner, Kenny Howard, aka JL Bachs (Joe Lunch Box), the amazing Von Dutch.
