I don't know yet. I have several possible setups in mind, even a third frame. One setup is a classic road bike or touring bike, another goes for a lightweight single speed or fixie and the third could become a kind of "city-klunker".
I will see where the parts lead me to....

Just spent the morning gazing thru @irzouts blog.
1 of a handful of great builders who have graced this place. Dig his builds, along with Gaskill, and fordsnake... These and many others (Luke, TRM, and D.Science...) are where I aspire to be as a builder/designer.
I don't want to just think outside the box.
I want to eliminate the box completely.

I kind of hate myself for loving this bike building thing.
I really don't want to do another build off any time soon, but I might end up sneaking in on this one.
Just did spring cleaning in my garage, and have a few projects in mind. All bikes that I actually want too.
Darn you ratrodbikes, darn you to heck...My nemesis.
No that wasn't edited by a mod, I really did type darn and heck... Shuckydangs just didn't seem to work.

Glad to know I am not the only one chomping at the bit to build more! I am soooo bored right now, want to start building but must wait a couple more weeks... at least I have a couple refurbs to get rolling and sell to keep me busy, .... Breezes, just sold a green one, almost finished with the blue one, and a red one shows up... couldnt refuse the $5 purchase price...
Is it may 1st yet...? Want to start building so badly, I am so excited about the next build I am forgetting I am headed to the fruita fat tire festival next week...
What kind of fest is that? Haha,fat tires obviously... But really, I've never heard of it. Where is it?

We are setting up to vend this year, our first time there. We trying out the cycling festival circuit this year, getting away from the craft and art shows. Attempting to reach a customer base that is 100% our customers, as opposed to the possibility of some cyclists, or friends of/family members of a cyclist, being at a art/craft show.

I put some placeholder wheels on it so it's easy to move around in my limited space... but I think it's got that look. Rat dragster.

Since I am divorced now with both kids in college and my dog and cat both died , I think I might have time to do it again this year. 
I'm not sure what to say, other than it'd be cool to see what you come up with.Since I am divorced now with both kids in college and my dog and cat both died , I think I might have time to do it again this year.
Speaking of what to build....
... I've been designing a bike for a couple years.
I've asked a few guys here for advice on how to go about it, got some good advice.
If I attempt a build this year, I may as well go big.
Here's my rough sketch from two years ago.
