BA, you put waaaay too much thought into this. get some sleep.

if anyone here has checked out the ratrodbikes site, they have build off challenges all the time. it's a friendly way to goof off with someone you only know as an internet penpal.

if you want an informal build off, just say what you want, find the guys who'll go for it, and then, just build it.

that being said (typed,) i'll challenge anyone to a vintage old timey build off.;)

Barely.... I think you're missing the point of having a "custom bicycle building contest"! If heavily modded frames (& tanks) leaves too few contestants? How many people do you really think we have here with the skills to truely modify a engine???
We're gonna end up with a contest where everyone just bolts on a bunch of Jims parts, a SBP pipe & a CNS carb onto a totally stock Wally World bike.... Thats not much of a contest... I can look at several pages of those bikes right now in the 'pics & vids' pages! :rolleyes:

If we're gonna have a contest of "bike building skills", Lets have a real contest of "bike building skills"!

i can't get an 80cc engine, anyways. all mine are around 66.

by taco's rules, this sounds like a chopper/lowrider build-off, and that just ain't my thing.

now if there was an ol'-timey motorsickle build off... wait, i'm already in that...the rustoration build.

whatevs, youse guys have fun. i got fenders to build for my new bike...

norm you can take as long as needed as long as its a good time frame i guess this is considered a technical build off it will include much work welding and shaping I would say its for the seasoned builder with tools not a pair of vise grips and a hammer lol and salty gator you can build a cruiser if you want just be sure to follow the rules if you dont know them read the prior posts so ya i guess i will go grab the new frame today yay best of luck to who enters be sure to say if ur in or out so we can get a mod to set something up maybee bareley awake can help
