Welcome to the 18th Annual Build Off on the Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum !!
What started as one man's dream for an online forum for those that dig the 'rat rod' style of bicycle building and appreciation; has turned into the realization of dream builds for hundreds of Forum member builds over the years.
If you have never participated in the annual Build Off, there is no time like the present! For those that are returning, welcome back! The RatRodBikes Build Off 18 (BO 18) will begin on May 1, 2023.
Please check the RRB BO 18 Rules thread for guidelines defining the two Class options and build parameters. This discussion thread is for give and take about what you might build this year, questions about the Build Off, and generally getting hyped for another great build season on RRB!
Once again, welcome to the best rat rod bike building forum on the internet, and RRB BO 18 !!
As always,

AND A HALF!!
Now now @MattiThundrrr we need not to rush things take the time to get out all the Matti humour, exchange puns with @OddJob, come up with your storyline ,scope out photo opps , collect your memes and various pop culture references then what would you do during the build off
but we would be less entertained

Lol you seen the pictures I been posting of the Duck? You think that's just idle tomfoolery because I like the bike?
Yeah me too, and it might change my plans...
Your welcome to build it at my house "store it" that way you don't go over garage limit. I know you already thought of that
I am wholly unprepared for this build off. I haven't even ordered any parts because I can't make up my mind which bike to build
At least this year I'm working 4/10s, so I have one full day off during the normal work week. Last year I was working 50+ hours a week during the build off
wait a minute... is Matti gonna build a drop bar bike? Can't be.

Lol I tried last year too, it's still in pieces. But that Fisher has got me excited... Waiting for a response from the seller is excruciating
Just sent a set of hubs to my LBS to be rebuilt. I did some scrounging last night and today. I believe I have enough parts on hand to do a build in each category this year.
HEY MR TIME KEEPER, HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT?
when heck freezes over you'll build, and ride, a drop bar bike.
but ya, that bike is cool.
