Touring Bike build off

[Beau]

YEAH! More people are into this. Shall we say the challenge start Jan. 1st? That will give us time to gather parts, deal with the holidays, and get more people.

Count me in just got a mystery road frame. Do you guys do a separate build post for your bike. And just talk about it here? Or do you just post your build in here?

[Wildcat]

Yeah let's see it.

I started my own thread after I knew for sure it was a build, see "unnamed touring bike build".

So are we thinking start Feb 1st, and run it for a month?

How about this...Start in Feb. End in March. Ride it on an overnight camping tour in April!

I hope mine will be worth this much when I'm done with it.

[Philphine]

How you guys coming on the bikes?
I didn't post a build thread for mine,
I think a before and after shot will do just fine.
I would have it done but I need to order a
shimano bell crank... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-VINTAGE-MUS ... 2642314276
So I'll probably be done by next week, How far are
you guys on your builds?

[KickBackCycles]

Just finished my bike today.
And while tuning the shimano hub it started to rain
and the bike got muddy. So I'm just waiting for a sunny
day to wipe it off and take some photos.
And I do live in Kansas in the middle of winter,
but its been in the mid 50's lately with only a dusting of
snow the whole year. So I'll hopefully have a nice
day soon where I can ride it down to the park
and take some pics.
I was just going to post them in the gallery page.
Should we have a topic for finished touring buildoff bikes
there instead?
