Finished it up, and got the Photo Shoot done.

1976 Murray Skybolt. It really rides nice! I hope you like it.

There are some fantastic bikes here, congradulations and best of luck to each and every entry.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

The light is an eBay find. It's from an old firetruck. It has a metal manufacturer's tag on top.
The seller claimed it works. I did not have time to try to wire it up and make it work.
It has a very cool wide bulb and a flasher inside the housing.

We have the same bike (only made 2 months apart) and totally different outcomes, but both are cool. This is great.

Great looking rat (the bike).The light adds and, you got me looking for bottle openers.

 

[Green Dragon]

too much !, looks great - just ratty enough .

Awesome photos, too - I can;t get over not only the quality of the bikes built, but the artisticness ( is that a word ? is now ) of the builders photography. nice photos make the builds even more awe inspiring.

Sadly due to personal issues I did not get to finish my own build, but have truly enjoyed my first year here for the build-off, everyone here just went all out and the bikes rock .
now all sit back and enjoy a collective cold one.
