Per the rules they are all supposed to be budget builds, but since people have different notions of what is cheap and what isn't I'm gonna stop caring that some people are spending twice to ten times what I am.

I will build a bike that I want to see built, and I will love it with plans of it being my bike forever. I will get at least one vote... my own. :mrgreen:



I'm in $5 for the frame, $50 for used wheels, tires, bars, stem, forks, bottom bracket, seat and post. still need the cranks and chainring, chain, and brakes (gosh a bike with brakes! that will never win with all those cables cluttering up everything!)

2. I got my air compressor fixed
3. I won't have to morgage the landlords house to have fun
4.My family is counting on me to ignore then for three months
5.I get to get parts out of the garage and make more space,,,(for more bikes)
6.Get away from the TV
7.Letting the ideas in my head escape to make a creation
8. Having something cool to post and talk about on the site
9.Don't own a Harley
10 .The joy of being in the brother (and sister) hood of bike builders and riding a personel creation
LETS BUILD!!!!
What would Jesus ride???

Last year I completed my bike for under $100 and I talked about the money a lot because of the rules, but of all the things that people commented on, nobody seemed to care that I spent very little money, so I guess it's a non issue, so I won't worry about announcing it this year, but I will say, everything I build is cheap.

Love your list, you can use the word "brotherhood" alone without offending any females, if it is offensive ladies, please speak up.

Sometimes we are overly sensative for no reason because we wouldn't have offended anyone in the first place, don't get me started. haha

I am just happy I don't have to strip any paint this year, what a nightmare that was!

It's easy to get "cabin fever" on a forum after you've been there for a while with little outside interaction with bike people, you start questioning motives. The longest forum I was a member of was mostly people from NC, VA, and SC, so we met up twice a year and that helped break any impressions you had made about them based on what they typed (or how they typed).

Anyway, I'm going to have fun this year, I'm going to be a big player, and I WILL get more votes with my Pacific Cycles China made bike than someone who drops big cash on an antique frame and high dollar wheels and tires.

I have been thinking a lot about my final photo shoot... I want there to be action involved... Stay tuned.

Now I just need a "hook" for my updates to keep people coming back...

I got those pics you wanted just gotta get them uploaded I'll send them in a P.M an your not winning the build off I got this yr in the bag no need in you even trying really no hot chic in the photo no gimic to get pple my ride will be so awesomely cool that pple will be drawn to my build like a moth to the front porch light

Hot chick? Whatever, I intentionally kept myself out of the photos last year so as not to unfairly win.

The bike I am building didn't cost me squat! I am setting my goal to keep the bike free or to make it pay me to build it. The three wheel tandem I got on a trade. I traded my yellow tandem (Paid $100) for both my three wheel tandem and another regular tandem (that I sold for $100) so I got the 3 wheel with the engine kit for free! Most other parts were on bikes that I gave next to nothing for and probably made profit on, tires are ones I had laying around, seats were both trash finds on Schwinn electric scooters, I think the paint will cost more than the bike in this case. Might go bare metal just so I don't have to spend anything on paint. :mrgreen:
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

A no-cost bike eh? That's worth a vote right there.*




*I think I already promised about five votes so far. That could be a problem.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Yeah, but now that yoothguy admitted to hypnotizing us all to get our votes, I'm taking that vote back.*


*He still might earn it if he makes that sidecar, but I'm telling him I voted for someone else anyway.
