lets up the budget to about 1200.
A cool build is a cool build no matter how you did it or what it cost you.
I just find limiting funds leads to more junk builds with questionable parts.
If we want to attach a $ amount as a measurement, I think just to enter a bike you have to be able to Sale It for at least $550 right now.
If you built it for $20 cool, nice profit ;-}
The way I figure it if you can't built a nice safe bike you can get $550 for, it won't stand much of a chance, which comes to the other end of the $ scale...
It can't be worth more than $2500 either.
That puts a cap on what guys like me can enter ;-}
That's a pretty broad range, just without the junkers at the bottom and the superbikes at the top.
