Triple Threat Trifecta

[MattiThundrrr]

So I haven't counted, but I'm sure there are at least a few builders who are competing in all three categories.
That's a pretty impressive feat, definitely worth a highlight or recognition. It's worth discussing:should we come up with some award category for the superbuilders who can finish one in all three categories?

You're going to force me to add a 4th entry with skinny tires, aren't you. Ugh

 

[ingola]

We do have a great prize three bikes in spring.

Force? Not me... I'm just a simple politician

Haha @CRASH I was just thinking about the crusty muscle bike in the boneyard. IF I get the other two close and still have 30 days...

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

I may mod out my cantilver Speedster last-minute to fit the Muscle category.

 

[GTHOtrod]

I have a build in each category. A skinny build was too much to resist

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

am I the only one having trouble keeping up with the builds? holy smokes there's a lot going on here.

What about the other way of doing a Triple Threat Trifecta: a single bike that satisfies the rules of all three classes? It seems absurd and not something I'm going to try, but is totally possible.

Edit: Personally I'd go for an offroad hybrid/gravel build. 700cx40mm rear, 650b x 38mm front. Short suspension fork. Either a polo seat or some weird bars. The concept would be "Gravel downhill F1"

I'm jumping in for the trifecta...

 

[Markm]

Is there a limit on total build bikes per member?

...trifecta plus 2??

Ok, I'm joining the Trifecta Club. My 4th build is added.

I'm sitting the MBBO out until Kaiju is 99% but my old Apollo frame has been in the boneyard for a couple years in brown primer. The dip paint job (Cyclodelic) is long gone. But Kamacuras is waiting to be reborn.

Just pulled it into the "other" garage where I have a lot of bikes stored.

 

[Slow-Rider]

I did not see it till you said it. but yes I have a bike in all 3 classes.

 

[CRASH]

Aaaaaand… I’m out. A 1.5” tire on a vintage BMX will look out of place, so I’m Going to follow my gut and just restore it in the off road class with the right tire.

I didn’t even see this thread before entering 3 bikes . I’m about 75 percent finished on all three . I wanted to avoid doing the heavy cleaning on all three in case winter hit early in the North East . Funny thing is I entered the off road last . And my skinny tire I almost pulled out of the build off glad I didn’t now.

I think we're all happy about that. Personally, I'm not happy to compete against it, but that Arch bar frame is too good

Ok brother, @Wildcat got me thinking. I have a big o' Schwinn skiptooth sprocket and a skippy conversion cog so I can make a modern single speed coaster into a skiptooth. Now I'm thinking of building a one off diamond bike as a skiptooth bomber... Might as well go all the way and make it fit all 3 categories. Tire staggered gravel bike with 700 x less than a inch and a half wide wheels, straight bars and... How's about a springer polo seat cut down in length to lose the sissy bar. Would that count as a banana seat? Or I could use the tandem seatpost and hang my apes out back and use a normal saddle...

 

[Wildcat]

Anything can be done, at first. I've never once had an idea for a bike actually come to fruition. Close sometimes, but never the original plan.
I remember having a skip tooth cog welded into a newer hub driver. I don't remember what it was on or where I got it, but it fit right into the KT hub on a 57mm copper wheel set I got from 3G. It went on my build back then, Coppertooth.
