Okay, now you got me riled up. I shooting for 38th place now. That'll show you! Maybe 33rd. It rolls off the tongue better.



if you're going to place ''33rd", maybe a Rolling Rock theme would get you there :mrgreen:

That won't work: I don't have any green paint. So I'm going for 35th. That's how old I was before I was 36, so it's a good number.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Back me up on this one guys.
I think I heard that you are not allowed to use full suspension frames for RRBO7.
Steve added it as super secret rule number 13-X.

Is a twin flex counted as a full suspension frame? Nevermind I don't have one anyway.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

I'm 35 now, so that might be my place you're shootin' for!

Wait, no full suspension bikes? My bike was made in the same factory in China with cheap full suspension bikes.

This post in the for sale section got me thinking (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53703).
What about a Sears Screamer with a Felt 24x3 rear 5 speed wheel and front deraileur with separate 5 speed and 3 speed stick shifts for the front and back draileurs and OCC forks with the other Felt 24x3.
Guess it would be a Screamer 15.

Nothing like RRBBO talk to get you thinking!!!!

I've been wanting to build a bike with a jackshaft made of a multi-speed rear hub... the build-off isn't the right time for it, but sometime in the future...

You should have a pretty easy build considering this is a digital image... all your work will be in the shop... the Photoshop.
