It's been another fun Build Off, I've had fun checkering and choppifying this bike. I know a lot of people were minimalistic on their Finished Threads this year. Sorry, I can't do that after 3 months of work. :D:grin::21: Here are the results.

As usual, another great build there KF. And, I think your photography skills are catching up to the building skills. You have some great shots.

Thanks man! I think it comes from treating every bike ride as a Savannah photo shoot throughout the year. Not bad for a smartphone camera. :D
 
Very cool bike KF [emoji1303][emoji1303] Thea’s CNCs are not easy to come by as you know and this one is a one of a kind for sure. Really like your work & your photos are not to bad either . Are you sure you didn’t hire a professional.

Kinghish when you told me what you wanted to do to this I was skeptical but man it came out nice. Very well done buddy.

The 'contemporary industrial' style of the shiny chrome and frame, along with the hot rod look of the checkered splashes and the raked front end has a unique and catchy look to it!

Another one of 'King' build!
 
Just when you think he "can"t" out do last years bike...He DID!
 
Very nice! I like everything about it.

Thanks!


Looks like: going 100 mph;

I promise that I built the bike myself and didn't hire a professional :p:p


Rat Fink-Check
Alfred E Neuman-Check
Dude with a beard and a flute-Check
Way cool bike-check

You know that I'm always gonna have some fun with my builds.
That Fink Hot Wheels shifter was a blast and makes me laugh every time I hear it.
What... Me Worry was sort of a last minute afterthought, but I love how it turned out.
The bearded flute dude has been playing downtown for a long time. I heard him on my ride and couldn't pass up the photo op. I love my city!!!

Now you tell me!! It was your suggestion (or dare) for me to put the Mothras on under the steertube :eek::eek: :21:
Thanks man!

I really had fun with the checkerboard work on this one. Thanks for the matching racing socks!

Thanks Kota, glad to see you back on. I like this build a lot, but I'm not sure if I like it more than Rockafella. One thing is for certain. I'm always gonna have fun with my builds

A lot of fine checkering,excellent ideas and detail went into this. Everything seems to compliment each other...
 
Kingfish I was referring to using the rail frame as a chopper. As for the bars I think they are perfect.

I always enjoy watching your seemingly freewheeling approach to builds. Seat is amazing. Looks like a really fun ride.

Thanks man! I never have a complete plan for any build. It's always an organic try this, try that flow. Sometimes there may be a general direction, but not always. That keeps it fun and I get to be just as surprised as the viewers :D .
 
I just noticed that my number in the voting list is 13 backwards. Kinda cool in a goofy way.
