I build stuff.
With much thought, petition, and heartache I have decided to build my beloved 1976 Murray Skybolt for this year's illustrious Rat Rod Bike Build-Off.
Now, why would someone call a mid 70s Murray a "beloved" bike. Right now I'm asking myself the same question, but then I remember the hook. This bike was given to me and through this website within just a short time of posting this "Fresh Find" I learned that this bike is a 1976. That's the hook.
I have older bikes, newer bikes, nicer bikes, crappier bikes, and some bikes more suited for this contest, but this is the only bike I have that is the same age as myself. We are both turning 35 this year, and though I get cleaned up and dressed up almost daily, this bike hasn't had the same good fortune, so 2011 is it's year.
I want to thank RRB.com for making this an open competition. I feel like a man among giants as I build, and though I feel like I'm the one that needs it, I wish everyone luck and happiness during this contest and beyond.
This 76er is going to build this 76er.

Did you know that in 1976 the United States celebrated it's bicentennial? In celebration they released a special quarter and the Murray Skybolt.
