Test ride in the road, seat was loose, headset was loose, front wheel was loose. Tightened up and took to the trail.

Okay, if I want to win this build-off, what else do I need? Haha

The closest I’ve come to winning one of these is like 11th place.

Some gold anodized on that thing would be ..............

Purple pearl ghost flames? Seriously though, the klunk is looking great!

 

[yoothgeye]

Oh, I forgot to mention, without spending more money. Haha

More mileage

Ride videos always add +1 to any build in my book! I start with everybody at 10 on a 10 pt rating scale, and then deduct from there.

So, currently, you are at 11 until the evaluation / voting process begins.

 

[yoothgeye]

I gotta true this rear wheel, anyone wanna come do it for me?

 

[yoothgeye]

I’ve been weighing my bikes before and after the build. Thrilled this bike lost over 7 pounds.

 

[OddJob]

I wish I had weighed my Schwinn Racer as a stock build when I grabbed it out of that dumpster about a year and a half ago. It is really light right now! The one piece cranks, heavy steel chrome rims and that 3 spd Sturmey Archer hub, even the chain guard is beefy. I'll grab a scale at the bike shop on Monday when I ride into work and do a weigh-in.

I win every time by getting a bike, even on a DNF that gets finished:

I used to say the same thing but then I realized that was just what losers say.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

3 keys to winning...
1. be one of the cool kids
2. bike must bend the rules to even qualify
3. contestant must smooze everybody else and provide positive commentary

It's hard man! #2 is the only one I can ever pull off. (but I'm working on #3)

 

[yoothgeye]

I’ve been quiet because my bike is done basically. I’d like a cool but subdued headbadge. I still need to true the rear wheel.

I bought another project. I need to fix the steering and driveline to make it work.

This is with my 29r

Here it is with my 6’ tall son.

How wide are those wheels? You might be able to apply for an exception to the skinny bike rules on the basis of scale...

 

[OddJob]

Don't try for Muscle Bike BO, though. Bars are too straight and seat is too round.

I think based on height they could be considered skinny.

Hah but with out an exception to the ruling,
1 1/2" is max width.

Dang, it’s at least 2.5”
