I'm just curious what that fork is off of. A friend of mine just bought a fork like that off the bay and was wondering what it was.....thanks
yep, it's a columbia. The springer is why I want to use this bike and convert it. The fork is too long to use in a mens head tube. Just look at the length of the head tube on this bike!
Kustom Kreator as long as you leave the original frame structure intact your fine but why do you want to change it..nice girly bike the way it is.
Martin that is a great graphic ...I'd lay my money down for that shirt
I really think this will be a great build off and way to fun

:idea: if you want to use that fork on another frame cut a piece of 1 1/4'' black gas pipe and it will slide right over the fork tube, cut it to the length you need for a spacer, put it on below the bearing race and problem solved. btw some cheap pipe has a seam on the inside make sure the pipe that you use doesn't.
NO FRAME MODS????? I guess evrybody's stuck usin' a "square" frame!!! :mrgreen:
I would just like to mention that after less than 48 hours of the build off launch we already have a very diverse group of bikes about to be reborn. With all these different bikes on the workbench, I doubt very much that this will be a boring build off. Are we having fun yet? :mrgreen:
I noticed that there are a lot also, I have a frame that I was going to build up, but I think I'm gonna choose something else now.october said:
I'm just bummed 'cause I'm guessin if I take a mountain bike frame, flip it and make a board tracker outta it I'm DQ'ed.
That's okay, I got my connections on the job lookin for a frame. Okay so my ONE connection.

I'm gonna build my girl's Columbia and convert it to a mens frame. If I get disqualified for it I don't care. It's all good, I was going to build this bike anyway. It's just happens to be the same time the contest is running.
