I think all that I have left of this is frame and fork.

When we came up with the step through idea I said that was going to be our biggest challenge

I started setting this up last year but never made it active until now. The Summer Solstice seems like a good time to launch it!

Can you enter one bike in both build offs?

Nope

You must choose.

Choose wisely.

It would be fun to restore a cool muscle bike for the MB class and use the parts bike for a wild custom ST build.

Joking but truthfully, at this point in my life I've got little interest in a step thru build if I can't flip it. Having built slash rebuilt 3 or 4 believe me it's a challenge in and of itself. I could actually sit one out too.

You can always build a muscle bike instead

I've got a Higgins step-through that I might just need to put together for this. Been in pieces for approximately 4 years now.

Here's a pic of the day I picked it up. I pretty much disassembled it and never touched it again

Looks like I'll be eating my own words. Since I'm cleaning up my boy's Schwinn Traveler in the traditional class now. I told my daughter I'd rebuild her college bike. Modern but crustified Schwinn girls bike. We knocked it down into a single speed coaster with some comfy bow handlebars and painted it seafoam green, so it's in the queue...
