I was wandering the same thing..

quick question here ....why isnt there more ppl interested in this,....in the original thread there were all kinds of ppl tossin out ideas ...now on this thread,its like the same 5 or 6 guys ....what happend ? just wonderin

That's easy. We just finished a "build off", everyone might be a little burnt out. It's great that 5 or 6 people stepped up. More than likely after some progress has taken place, MORE will jump in. Heck, I didn't donate the fork on the first one until they had been building for a few months!......As soon as it's realized that there are parts that are REALLY, REALLY needed, people will come forward.....Might have to take a collection for the TWO slicks that will MAKE the bike.

I’ve learned if you want to get parts...Advertise the heck out of this build. Keep a thread going in the Bike talk, Wanted, and builds section asking for parts. See if Steve will give you the front page for a week asking for parts. Do whatever you can!!!

Last years happned around build off time as well... I think since it was the first one everyone was really excited to see what would happen.... this year we are just following in the footsteps trying to keep a good thing going.

As far as being burned out... Maybe chose a diffirent hobby if you get burned out on this one.... it takes no time to just sit down and toss out an idea here or there. Give a little positive feedback or constructive criticism... I cannot imagine that if you really loved this kind of thing that you would get burned out by a buildoff. I am always excited to see new builds and new takes on ideas.

I am doing this to provide Steve with a little flow to keep a great site going.... A little effort by the online family goes along ways to make this a great place. This website is the roots to my hobby.... I enjoyed riding classic bikes, then one evening while typing in ratrod under google images i saw one bike that caught my eye... I was not even looking for bikes.. just typing ratrod into search area... Clicked on the picture and it brought me here... from then on it has been a daily thing to check this site...

So, in closing I feel honored to build this and at the same time entertain everyone with the build. And when it is all said and done.. somebody will be out there riding another one of my creations.... I dont get much betta den dat...


Oh... and here is the first ratrod bike that brought me to this wonderful land of kick-butt (keepin it clean) bicycles....

Nothing ruffled... I think like texting a persons real meaning behind what they type or feelings felt get missunderstood... I am just playing around... I guess its like gruff motivation saying don't be a wimp... get into the build... There is no time to get burned out....

"Are you crying? There's no crying in baseball."

Anyways... hope there are no hard feelings... Just speaking my mind... i want everyone to get involved... but if only a few of us do it will still get accomplished.

Just bustin ya...Like I said, when you REALLY need something, someone WILL step up. Last year DN and Dr.T asked me for a fork, I think I responded that I was to busy. Then when I recognized that they REALLY needed one...I found the time. I think you guys are of to a great start....Here's my opinion...Ya NEED the Jerald(?) slicks, front and back...Get a price..I'll contribute some, and I'm sure others will also.....Now leave me alone, I'm working on another weird build (kidding).

[garagegoon]

I was gonna call Tim from Jerald Sulkey and see if he would donate his own product... He is after all a member of this forum... If not donate them offer a discount on them... i think once we get the tires and the fork mated up to the frame people will see the vision... No rush though... When its done... its done... no set time frame... Once done we will auction it.... if people are burned out it will give them time to warm up to the idea of another build....

"...Get a price..I'll contribute some, and I'm sure others will also...."

I will contribute, if we can't get them donated.
