The next build off? Plans for the future

[horsefarmer]

Skinny is something I normally avoid. So tempted to build some kind of skinny tyre pedal forward cruiser.

Have this frame, which I think will make for a great muscle bike build.

Also keen for a klunker build. Time permitting

Your Huffy sure looks like my Kent LaJola!

Maybe the lowly wallymart coaster brake bike rises with a 3 speed!

I forgot this poll had closed

Looks like maybe a three class showdown this winter?????? Unless we have any objections

No objection here. I'm keen for three new builds

It sure does look similar. I like the way the frame flows. Be cool to see your take on it

Id be interested in a skinny build. I have so many parted out bikes that I havent touched in a couple years, im sure I could come up with something weird. Wife is pushing me to purge out the garage

As stated in the other thread, I'll be aiming to finish the muscle bike for my son from the BO (Hope4muscle).

And I would be up to enter a skinny city commuter build based on the donor frame from above mention build... It will become the "Skinny'matic".

The "matic"-part is hopefully on its way to me, most of the other parts will come from my stash and some of them have been used on other BO-bikes already...
In two weeks I have a campground weekend planned and will put together a first POP...

One first secret ingredient for my skinny build arrived in the mail just yesterday:

And on the same day the "matic" part arrived as well:

I'll give it a trial run in my campground folder soon and then release the hub of it's rim and spokes...

Sounds fun.
I missed the vote, and haven’t finished my summer build, but I have a nice frame hanging in the garage and should be able to build from my pile of parts.
I probably missed it, but what is the max width to still be a “skinny tire” ?

40mm/1.5"

how long is the winter BO typically?

 

[Captain Awesome]

11/1 - 2/1 or maybe 3/1

skinny tire inspiration: guy builds an inexpensive step-thru gravel bike from a piece of junk:

That's for you to determine based on the guidelines

And where can I find those at? Sorry,I'm a noob

So I'm assuming that means BOTH tires, correct?

If you're asking about skinny then yes

You could build it as a Muscle Bike if you satisfy the (minimum two outta three rule). Those being (briefly) a) apehangers (or other muscle bike bars) b) big and little tire combo c) banana type seat.

You could build it as a skinny bike by satisfying the 40mm/1.5" and under tire requirement.

You could build it as an Off-Road entry...it's a reach, but strange things tend to happen in RRBBOs.

Welcome to RRB!

The positive to the build off being almost 2 months away is all the time to collect parts without killing your wallet. We should all be able to build fantastic and unique bikes with all this prep AND maybe I won't be finishing this next one on the day before the deadline...

Carl.

It still kills your wallet, only it spread over a longer time frame
