Kids bike or Klunker gets my vote

 

[el Diablo Guapo]

Kid's bike= 1
I dig that with one BO wrapping up the next is already up for consideration, no moss here,eh?

 

[Captain Awesome]

Hmmmmm.........kids bike. 12" wheel burrito?

Since I have 2 aluminum frame bikes that need revamping, maybe an all aluminum bike build off?

Interesting. Anything goes as long as it's aluminum frame?

hmmm, i DO have one aluminum frame...

Without going to straight BMX race frames...I have three in my horde that come to mind.

1 Jamis Earth Cruiser, '99 cantilever frame with 7spd nexus
2. Bianchi Milano cafe racer, also currently has 7spd nexus, though I'd probably go single speed
3 Jamis Boss 2000-something

Oh...then there is the Felt Scythe.

So I'm all set to start AlumBO threads. No promises on completion, I haven't managed that feat yet .

You have my attention

I'm just bummed that one turned up on Paul's coaster bike challenge vids. I was hoping to be the first to drop a bmx'd version on the forums .

That's exactly what I was thinking of too

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Nothing new under the sun. It's definitely a nice frame, with that Camelback arch. I'd hook one up, maybe gravel style

 

[RustyGold]

That top one is all kinds of wrong .

The frame looks too small, but would be a good candidate for a BMX build

 

[horsefarmer]

One downside of aluminum would be no welding for most of us.

It's not quite as small as it looks... the oversized tubing makes it look smaller. Standard sized frame (~18") with very long top tube (23+"). As a road bike with dropbars, this would be the only guy that might fit that ...

 

[MattiThundrrr]

They look like different sizes. Check out the space between the tubes where they meet the steerer, and the length of the seatpost. Red tire bike looks larger

 

[RustyGold]

Oh...I think you're right...I assumed they were one size fits all.

 

[horsefarmer]

Oh look at what was in the scrap pile!
