Since last year's Build Off I have picked up some cool frames and other crap to possibly use for builds. If you have followed either of my two builds, you know I do a lot of mock up to wrap my head around what to do next. To that end I am going to use this space to post photos of some of the stuff I have to work with so that I have one place to look at as I begin to think out what my Build Off 7 build will be.
 
Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

One of my ideas is to do a sidecar build or have a trailer as part of my build.
If I do, then this will be the base for it.
I also have a pair of 26" wheel covers.

This Spaceliner stuff could always be useful

One of my other build ideas is a chopper trike.

This 70s WF trike back end would be part of it. With the kids 20" Nirve Clutch frame up front.

I am kinda leaning towards a non-canti frame.

May even make this Elgin into a 29er with Big Apples

Everyone needs a 54 Chevy hood ornament on their salt flats sidecar. Actually, this isn't the 54 Chevy ornament, but I do have one of those as well.
EDIT: Used wings from this on Flexy

If I build the trike, I have these Harley Whitewalls. Actually, I guess, I could use them for a side car or trailer too.

If I build the trike, I was thinking of using this behind the seat

I don't know if it will be this build or not, but I plan to someday make a banana seat or rack out of wooden water skis.
By the way, I sold the hardware from the Cypress Garden skis for $46.

Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

Don't know if it fits into any of my BO ideas, but this seltzer bottle is going to make a cool tank on some bike.
Maybe a Three Stooges bike. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck.

Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

I made a very good profit on a yard sale bike yesterday, so I plan to have RRB Headbadge #007 once Steve puts it on ebay.

Maybe the theme of my build be be James Bondish!!!
 
Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

Maybe I should buy back this Lee Iacocca E-Bike and TRY to find a way to "rat" it!!!????????? :shock:

Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

My build may be pretty heavy, so I am exploring using one of those electric front wheels for assisitance. That is if I can find a deal. I am not paying full price!!!
 
Re: Kingfish254's PRE-RRB BO 7 White Board

I don't think I will use this one for the BO, but I could use my 1959 Panther II
