Upcoming 2025 ORBO/SWBO - who’s in?

[ingola]

Yes

The big Summer build off is the only one that restricts you to one entry per category. All others are wide open you could have 50 entries if you wanted.

@Wildcat is crazy enough to finish all 50 he probably has more finished build than anyone on here. Way to go wildcat

I think @Otto (Spelled Backwards) should pull out one of his toys for this one

I've got some big plans for a big ripper build, plus a mini velo build from an old mtb also

That's a couple of great projects! I've been thinking about building a mini velo out of an old BMX bike. Probably not for this next build off but who knows.

I've been doing a lot of research on them, they're so cool. I really like the Velo Orange Neutrino but it's , need to find a low budget alternative.

Several frame and fork options on AliExpress if you wanted to try

I think I may build one

Mini velo sounds interesting. I don’t know much about them. I assume you need a special frame?

I’m itching to get something started. I guess I can start dissembling and hunting for parts. I may have two entries for the ORBO.

I've been eye-balling those too. I also really dig the Bike Friday bikes, also spendy

We'll have to start a mini velo ideas thread. My idea so far is a touring style bike built from a BMX bike with derailleurs.
