We did it! Good job Skip. Looks mean. Looks like a winner too, much as I don't like to admit it.

Now we need final pictures and a voting page.

When Wife saw it she said it looked sinister. I wasn't going for that, but it does kinda.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Ya it is sinister.

I was shocked yesterday when Nicole said she liked mine. She doesn't usually like anything I build. She doesn't get the rat bike thing.

We will start a voting thread next weekend after our ride.

The ride: New Haven, CT. Grove Street Cemetery. Photo in front of the GoodYear grave. Ride around Yale. Beers at Richters, Anchor, Burger at Louie's .... etc.

We have decided it's Saturday 11/3 at 3 PM.

I repeat:

Saturday 11/3 at 3PM. Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven, CT

[thatismytruck]

Thanks Big Country!

KZ he didn't get his yet, and with Hurricane cleanup I just didn't have time to mount.

Next post from Ian or me will be a link to the voting thread. 8)

 

[kingfish254]

Two sick builds! Love them!

 

[aka_locojoe]

I don't believe I ever commented but I have been following along. Both awesome bikes. Don't make me pick a favorite or I may just have to flip a coin.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

thanks for your comments Randy; and to all who've been following our build challenge.

I'm going to attempt to put together the voting thread this morning with the photos I took on our New Haven ride yesterday. I'm not the most forum savy guy, so bare with me. It may need some tweaking once submitted, and Skip certainly will chime in with some photos of his own. Hopefully the photos I put up fairly represent both bikes.

It's going to be interesting to see what the forum members think. I think for most it will come down to what brand of bike you like more, Higgins or Monark, because to us, the bikes are pretty similar in build style.

This was a lot of fun.
