There are always some cool parts on most RRB builds, but I don't think I have ever seen a parts list for any of the builds.

What are you building with? Sometimes it's easy for the rest of us to miss some of the cool parts that you are using.
I challenged myself to build Mofo without destroying or cutting any desirable parts. Many of the parts are over 100 years old:

Frame & Tank: 1940’s Cleveland Welding Company - Hawthorne
Front suspension fork: 1960’s Sears Spaceliner
Crank arm: 1930’s Monark Dogleg
Sprocket: 1900’s Pierce
Pedals: 1900's Torrington Rat Trap
Headlight: 1930’s Delta Car Spotlight
Handlebars: 1900’s Race Bars
Grips: Flexgrips?
Stem: 1930’s Iver Johnson
Seat: 1930’s Troxel pan
Rims: 1960’s Murrays with New Departure hubs & brake
Tires: Vintage Carlisle Lightning Dart 26 x 2.125 White Walls

Fred G is my hero. All of my freinds joke around and call me Fred when I make a good deal.

I've used this for my avatar before.

Say What? I thought you would have used George "Kingfish" Stevens, the original deal maker!

By the way . You have the best avatar! The day he passed tears welled in my eyes. Fred G. Forever Baby!! That will be my next build! Thanks again!!
Yeah, Fred G. Sanford was a folk hero, but his alter ego Redd Foxx was a riot! I remember catching him on the Chitlin' circuit in my 20's. If you want to hear who Richard Pryor mimic, listen to the sly Foxx. Also did you know Redd Foxx's birth name was John Elroy Sanford?

I forgot to mention that Fred Sanford was the name of Redd's real life brother!
 
Re: Mofo: Update 6/14

Since I have some time left, I’ve been kicking around another idea to go along with MOFO (yeah, I know I can only enter one build) the rules says you can change bikes once if needed. I'm not sure if my second idea is going to top MOFO, but we'll see? Anyway, Kingfish tossed me an alternate name “MO FAUX” which I love, I’m going to see what I can make of it using this 1950’s Rollfast I had laying around.

Rules? I want to see what your're going to do next. Maybe move it to the the generic "build" thread. I don't care I just want to see more cool stuff.

In the memorable words of our "Critter1” FAUX REAL!

There, fixed it. :wink:
You gotta take your props when they're rightfully yours!
 
Re: Mofo: Update 6/14

Yes sir! Critter came up the FAUX REAL that started all of this MO FAUX talk from me.
I guess that makes Critter the FAUX FATHER.
