This is my second build off and the second time the weather has screwed me for taking pics. :mad:

The bike is named after Cyrus Grissom who was the bad guy in the movie Con Air. It started out as two girl's Schwinn Varsities and a girls Rollfast, along with some various tubing, plate, and sheet metal.

I wanted fat rear tires, I found some hubs and rims for a Jr. Dragster and mounted some lawn tractor tires on them. Then a 20" 1.40 tire on a billet wheel completed the wheel tire combo. A 30" triple tree fork, some motorcyle handle bars and risers were used on the front. It has disc brakes all the way around, the front using a locking lever for a parking brake, and a dual lever for the rear.

The tank is sheetmetal (and my first attempt at making a tank), the fenders are trailer fenders that have been widened and reshaped along with 3/8 tube mounting brackets. The seat has been lengthened 5", and upholtered in a snakeskin pattered vinyl be my friend Kyle (Thanks Bud!!!!)

Paint is HOK Limetime pearl base, Didspade silver micro flake, Kustom Shop Lime candy, and Tampco clear. The graphics are a white base true fire overlayed in candy colors, Blue Veriegated gold leaf, with more Lime candy, and Lime pinstriping finishes it off.

Yep. I absolutely hate it to my core. It is exponentially worse than I imagined it would be. I am selling all my tools now. That thing should be a Hot Wheel from the 70's. You can put Ed Roth back in his genie bottle now. :21:

Nice work! Some very kool stuff going on here! This might have pushed you to the 'edge' at times, but you produced a 'cutting edge' build in the end. :41:
I do like this photo better for your Final voting photo though. Shows off a couple more of your tricks.

This build just kept getting better every step of the way. Truly amazing work man!
Probably the best paint ever done on RRB. But even without the paint this build is stellar!!!
BRAVO!!!!

I loved the design and flow of this... before paint! The paint and graphics take it way over the top, awesome build.
