So if I take one of my Raleighs and put a Spaceliner guard on it, I can use that? :lol:. (jk)
You can create on from anything. The more rules there are, the more exclusive it's gonna be, and that's not what we're going for here. True, the more spaceliners/flightliners/cosmic fliers etc out there, the better, in my opinion. But sometimes, they just aren't readily available. So On Monday I will be sending over the loose set of guideline to RatRod so he can make a spot in the general forun area. But in true ratrod fashion, this is gonna be a 'run what you brung' type event. And just to re-iterate, there is no judging in this here BlastOff. :mrgreen:
OK guys here's a copy of the guidelines I sent to RatRod, so keep your eyes open for this in the general forum area. Thanks for your interest!
Rules for the BlastOff 2009 Space Bike Build Off:
1. Start date is January 6th. I know we talked about mid January, but there are those of us(myself included) who would have a hard time waiting another week. All final pics should be in by March 1st. So timeframe is January 6th to March 1st.
2.Document your build. A picture of what you start with, and a final picture at the very least. The more the better though.
3.All Spacy-type bikes are legit in this here Blast-Off. FlightLiner, SpaceLiner, Cosmic Flier, chrome, painted, Whatever. You wanna build a spaceliner-type frame from scratch? Do it! You wanna convert a frame you have to a spaceliner-type frame cuz you just can't find one and wanna participate? Let's see it! In true rat rod fashion, this is a "run what you brung" event.
4.HAVE FUN! Remember this is a non-judged event. Just trying to see what kind of 'Liners are out there, how many more 'Liner Pilots we can get out there. This is more of a build-up and show-off than a build-off. So have fun and let's see those SpaceBikes!

Glad this is underway! Excited so far to see all the cool ideas!
Just for inspiration's sake, I thought I'd give props to Viktor Schreckengost, the guy who originally designed the SpaceLiner for Murray.
I had posted a tribute thread to him back in May:

There were some cool concept designs. Very Space-Age
Another site that I sometimes check out just for fun (because I am a sci-fi nerd) is a Concept Ships Blogspot.

I know! I'm the winning bidder. But I con't afford much so it'll probably get outta my reach...JoeyMac said:
So.. I'm the high bidder, but right now my house is currently being flooded, so even if I do win, I have more important things to deal with right now... Someone else should bid on it...BrigmasterA said:

benz said:hey brig, would you mind if I put a bid in on that there bicycle? Don't want to get into a war man, let me know!
No man go for it. I couldn't handle it if I won it right now...
