So did someone say when this thing is starting? Is there an "official" post yet? I have been wanting to get into a build off (my first) and I guess this will be it. I can't wait!

Rule number 3 states no altering the frame, ie no welding. All of the mods I have seen mentioned here have either bolt on, clamp on, or in the case of the bar added to the diamond frame epoxied on modifications. Breaking the rules will not get you disqualified, but the voting membership will take it into account.

8. Parts can be attached any way you wish (includes welding).

Just saying :wink:

It's only March and there are all ready 5 pages of Build Off talks :shock:

Let's not forget it's for FUN!

Parts can be attached by welding, but I see things such as drop-out extensions, extended head tubes, and new tubing as frame mode, not parts. Maybe its just my point of view. We have almost 9700 members who will decide what defines "parts" and "frame modifications".

I know this thread may seem like it's all bickering but this is needed. If we don't take two months before the build off to get everyone on the same page, we will emd up wasting up two month during the build off. So although these questions are hard to answer and repeatative...they need to be talked about!

I will not play this year due to a mass of emptiness in my pockets but I will vote.

Do you want to win my vote? I'll tell what I would like to see.

I like internal multi gears hubs but I would like to see a 12" bike with a 5 speed or 10 speed.

I will also like to see a snake skin paint job.

And of course bikes with the rat rod bikes badge will have my attention.

Good luck.

Okay, two classes:

1. Controversial
2. Non-controversial

Now, all we have to do is decide which is which.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Here's an idea.....DeLorean emblems as head badge, a "Mr. Fusion" on the rear rack to power the flux capacitor. I'll still need a rocket pack to get to 88 mph.......unless I can get TWO flux capacitors.....then I only need 44 mph!!!!

OOPS! Did I really type that!!! Oh, well, the cat's outa the bag!

Mine will have 3 wheels, but not a trike.

Why get bullet hole stickers when you can have real bullet holes?

If you need help with bullet holes, just give me a call!

Remember you'll have to "massage" the exit wounds to prevent future flesh carnage. :lol:
