Summer Build Off?

[us56456712]

May 1, is that the start date? I’m going to sit this one out as May 1 will be too early to start this year. Right now we are having a raging gale and blizzard. I could hardly keep my camera steady in the wind. We had a warm winter and a cold spring which has made it winter like. I don’t feel like working inside the house as the shop is still too cold.

Last year's longer time frame brought out the procrastination in me and I kinda lost steam in the middle.

I still haven't finished Vindication for the same reason, so it's name changed to Vindication Procrastination. I've been chipping away at it from time to time when I get the urge. It's an odd project with unique challenges and changing details mid-stream seems to help the procrastination. I'll sit and stare at it and think, "that just doesn't look right", then eventually figure out what I want to change it to. When polishing parts for a couple of other bikes last week, I finished what was left of that for it.

What ever is decided upon, I'll give it another whirl. I'm just about done collecting parts for my Paramount and it should be quick work to get it together.

Wearing my favorite 'build off' T this morning in honor of the upcoming RRB BO #15.
@Rat Rod , this was the best one ever in my mind! (build off specific T, that is) Let's see those Rat Rod Bike T-shirt photos as we roll down the last week before the build off starts! C'mon !

Finally ran across a Eclipse 36-11 front hub for my build , it came off some kind of Whizzer . Next , I need to locate a coffin chain ring off a old columbia and another skip tooth chain .

There's a "Bombita" style of frame being built out west that I just love. Since I don't have a tubing roller I will be building a wooden "buck & lever" bender to fab the rear "Quarters" for the build that I have in mind. It'll be an Atomic Punk style build with my BONINE bike, Little Neutrino, getting blown apart. Neutron Bomb is the working title.

Nobody rules these streets at night like The Atomic Punk.

I now have 90% of what I think I will need to build my entry, including some bar/stem options.
Hoping for some crazy skids out of this one.

I have at least 3 candidates for Class 1. One would be a kind of makeover of last year's Strandie-style entry but on a different frame with some new details, one would be a Speedster-turned-BMX cruiser, and one would be a middleweight frame with skinny street wheels.

I've barely ridden a bike since last years build off. I refuse to document anything I build anymore, so I won't be involved in this years festivities.
But I stumbled on this page art, and I like it. Maybe someone will build something like it.

I've thought about it many times!

Not knowing what Atomic Punk style would be I did a little web browsing. I’m thinking my conceptual thoughts may have some atomic punk elements. My RRBBO#15 project will be hopefully rideable, but probably more of a visual oddity if I can actually pull it all together.

Inspiration ideas.

Certainly a wild contraption there, but far more intriguing is the story behind your refusal to document any more builds.

Makes me think of my idea of a starwars style land speeder bike.

To much negativity on how I do things, so I don't bother to show what I'm doing anymore.

I think the way that you refuse to tell us stinks. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

With your design ability and fiberglass contacts, I'm sure you'd be the one to pull it off. And I'd love to see it.
Maybe one day it'll be the crowning jewel.

It's not a refusal to tell anyone anything.

I just don't enjoy being insulted because I don't do things a certain way, so I feel it's better for me to just do my thing and show the finished product.

Come join in, show us your vision, I’ve given up trying to satisfy the voters. I’ve expressed opinions that some don’t want to hear even though others go unnoticed. It would be good for everyone to read the forum rules again.
