I'm making a custom strider bike for my grandson's 2nd birthday, which comes this November. I was going to make this anyway, so why not enter it? Also, sometimes in the rules of build offs it says something like "must be pedal powered," but since I don't see that, I figure it's good to go!
I bought this Radio Flyer strider for $8 at the flea market. I will be using it's solid wheels, seat tube/post, and possibly the head tube and fork. The plan is to make a cool custom strider with the Seymour name pinstriped on it that can be passed to any Seymour family members that currently have little ones. The hope is that this thing will be getting passed around long after I'm gone, though it doesn't always work that way. I could totally picture my son giving it to some idiot friend or neighbor, and there it goes.
Anyhoo, here's the starting point:
