Bunny hop?
I'm not even able to do a short wheelie on my build... :shock:

I think ridable = functional.
If a hypothetically normal person of your choice (kid or adult) could ride the bike without (too much) trouble then it's a 'ridable' bike in my eyes. A pic or vid of someone riding our builds would be fun.

You have a mountain bike frame, looks very solid to me, I'd be hopping curbs with that bike.

Exactly, the bike needs to be functional, ridable by someone, there has been a childs tricycle in the build-off before. Basically this all means, no show pieces or artwork only bikes.

My idea of 'functional':
I only meant that the basic parts that make a bike should 'work' imho:
While riding, pedals and cranck will have to be able to rotate. The bars will have to be able to steer.
Nothing more nothing less.

I'd LOVE to see some art/showpiece-only bikes that are (just) able to do that.

My bike solid enough for a bunnyhop? Yes, the bike is very rigid.
It's the position of the seat and bars that make me stick to the ground.

That, ...and my weight... :oops:

I might be a little shy but the only problem with weight is weighting for tomorrow to come so I can work on my bike!

I'm 200 lbs (that's pounds, not local bike shops) and I can bunny hop onto a curb.

Ehem.... Here is a shot at a skate park in my home town. This is not even my bike, it was some kid who was there and let me borrow it. My friends "dared me" so here is this bad phone shot but maybe Yoothgeye will leave me alone now. One might wonder why I need knee surgery. If I can do this at 30 sumpthin' years old I think I can handle the curb :wink:

Nope, this 30 something isn't gonna leave it alone until I see some of these build off bikes being beat on.

I lost count somewhere in there. One thing I have realized with is there is more important things to think about than your age! With age comes wisdom!

That will take a little work because much like Hurr, my bike was design to stay to the ground.

Would you at least ride it off a curb? Maybe pop up the front wheel a little when doing so?

Wow. I tried today on a test run of some changes to the bike and the back end is not coming off the ground without a lot of effort. As far as jumping it off the curb, no problem. I guess I will get you a shot of that.

Hmmmm. Watermelon beer, huh? Sounds interesting. We are hitting 100 degrees this week and if you are gonna have a beer, watermelon sound good!
