Somebody suggested a steampunk themed build-off, that could be interesting.

steampunk and bikes go together very well, i think it has to do with the primitive looking futuristic tech... if that makes any sense.

I saw an old man back in the late 50's that stuck about 20 canister vacuum cleaners all over his car. I wonder if that was the start of steampunk...well maybe art cars. :roll: :roll:

i think a steampunk bicycle would be a wonderful idea.

that being said,i think ya need to scrap the painted nerf gun mindset and do a little more investigating.(its kinda like painting fake rust on a rat rod)
