Wow, Great bikes. I entered last year and had to drop out due to losing my job... Hope I can start again next year and could only dream of building as well as the bikes displayed here.

Thank you all... Progress is really slow lately as I am helping plan a poker run, recently bought another motorcycle, and such, but should pick up again shortly...

A bit more progress finally... The seat model/mold was placed on the frame to make sure I was good with the design before going any further. The foam model was then carefully sanded to smooth it all out a bit and round sharp corners near the top. Since Polyester Resin will eat or dissolve...

Re: Men's Troll Cycle (Seat Building) After staring at the bike and trying to come up with something that would be comfortable and not sway from the curves of the frame came up with the design shown in my previous post which shows a seat that will allow me to sit back further from the pedals...

Re: ENGINE No.9 FYI, PBR is the official beer of Women's Flat Track Roller Derby.

Thank You for the vote of confidence. Working on the form for it now. I'll post pics as I have more to show.

Here it is with a fender added and conceptual seat design...

Traced the frame on some huge paper last night then placed points on drawing all referencing the crank centerline so I could draw this up today at work... I need to add the rear tabs to the drawing and a few minor tweaks, but you get the idea...

Nixing the seat shown earlier. Didn't fit the build or my butt all that well. I will be building my own seat. Probably cutting a form out of wood and then constructing a seat pad made of Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber (It's what I do)... Hoping to make some progress tonight at least getting some...

Very basic at this point... Just needed to see it with wheels. New Park Tools stand comes today. Customization to begin very shortly.

Donor bike has arrived... Luckily it was only $30... Very skinny wheels and fenders. Not much I'll be able to use from it for my build. The seat I pictured above arrived. Anxious to get home and look at how to incorporate into the frame. So the search is on for wheels/tires/fenders... I have...

I have purchased a donor bike for parts which is to arrive today. I also purchased a seat on ebay which I am hoping to mount in a way where it flows with the lines of the frame. I will post pics as soon as I get these parts around. and hopefully his weekend I will get some shop time and some...

Are you other two in the build-off with the same frame? I had looked through them all before and hadn't seen another. Very cool shoot me links to your builds if you want. Kinda pointless for me to steal ideas, but would love to see what you guys come up with.

That's our "paint booth" at work.

Re: BARBACUED IGUANA Looking really good. I really need something long like that with my monkey arms...

This is my first major bike build. I plan on putting all I can into it. I've had this frame for nearly a year now, and this may be just the motivation I need to get started on it. I'll warn you that progress may be slow to start with as I am still working at settling in on what direction I want...
