a cool custom bike is a cool custom bike and a Rat Rod bike should look perfect hauled in the back of this truck

That box looks to be about 2 1/2 feet long, I have trouble fitting my bikes in a 6' box. I don't have a single bike that would fit in the back of that truck but have several that would look great sitting next to it :lol: . I would love to have that truck in my collection...Kelly

I say it's cool to turn parts any way they can go. As long as it looks rat eh? The cool forks to me are no different - they dramatically change the bike... or any bike for that matter.. wish I had them! If the frame comes apart there then it seems fair, as long as it looks rat eh?

How about the winner of this build off get's to pick one of the other bikes, any one they want, to keep! That'll put some red bull in your cherrios... :mrgreen:

That would keep the price of the bike down low, or it will put some through the roof

yeah, I was just goofin' - would definitely either drop the price of the build(s), and/or make folks really, really, really try not to lose! It's all fun! Best of luck to all! — Peace, T.

This post seems a bit late in the game for this, but I'm glad he's allowed to continue with it. The date of manufacture for his starting frame might be different, but it only shows he was thinking outside the box when he looked at the rules. Everyone here assumed the style of frame was to be this or that.

They even make new cars look like rat rods now a days.

Don't sweat the small stuff. You guys are right that it's all in fun. God knows the CBN contests never happen with out a ton of drama about rules.


Go make a killer bike 'cumby!

 

[xddorox]

Drama is the last thing we need here. This forum is exceptional for it's lack of drama and I think we should keep it that way. Nice one budz :mrgreen:

 

[fast eddie]

i think bolt together like the y bike is fine, anyone can do that and what he's doing is really creative. if there is no welding, i say go for it!

Just my two bits.

When I first saw the rules way back in the first BO I thought to myself ...."thats real stricked! not much room for creativity!!!"
that was untill I saw all the bikes built....man O man!


but now! .....they make sence to me. Not everybody here has the

shop
tools
trainning or has yet developed the skills that some have here!

I belive the rules that are in place now help keep the BBO2 level and on a even playing feild. Even the beginners feel that they can join in

I would like to see the rules kept to the same and enforced!!!

Know what Im trying to say here.......anyway thats just my two cents
