Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
I usually get a list of the bikes I have and write out what needs done to each one (within a reasonable amount of time/money) to have it "finished". I don't know if all my builds are completely finished until I quit changing slight things here or there.
I'm also trying to rent a larger trailer to try to get at least 8 builds there. I'll be taking up more space this time.
Andrew-Is the layout gonna be somewhat similar to last years or different. I do hope we don't have the Flying Ferdinands zinging around the bikes this year. Oh yeah and that one bozo who thought he should be able to ride anyone's bikes he felt like.

IT was only a Hutch and besides, it didn't have a sign that said not to touch/ride it.
The show earlier this year I watched a bike get knocked over by someone who had three too many beers.

They do call this the "Strikes" show. That's to strike your bike over ![]()

That's fine for my new school bikes as I have perfected the foot jam to over the bars slam on both of them. Just got back from a ride and almost lost a wheel on the other side of town. My luck on that side of town is horrible.
Show bikes, I really don't own a true one. The Big Daddy and my Gremlin are the closest to being carpet queens.

May be a bike less than I planned. I have a potential buyer for the Big Daddy from the land of Oz.

very similar with just a couple small changes. The show area will be the same, We will have places marked off for the drag strip and the obstacles for the F/S comp

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
Well, a deposit was paid, the Big Daddy is in two boxes, so I am not bringing it this year. I hope to finish the George Jr. in time, but I just remembered that I have not ordered the pegs, yet.
Just picked up the stem from Bugsyregal from the mailroom and just need to buy brake cables to start the GT. As far as the show, two new schools, a pit, and maybe the George Jr. If I bring anything else, it will be a miracle.

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
I got done with my 3rd and last surgery dealing with my appendectomy. I still am planning to come with at least 8 builds with the wife setting up. This is why I missed the last show. Should be able to move around without too much prob. My super-secret build is pretty much done except for the last piece coming from Canada. Luckily I had most of my builds completed prior to last Friday. Looking forward to seeing everyone since I missed the last show.

I still won't have my one that I have been building for a long time. It will lack pedals and a seat.
My others are crap.....

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
I don't know why, but I can't get my act together on my George Jr. Decal removal is taking too long, I still need to order pegs, and I am sure I have forgot something . . . like pedals, bb, cranks.![]()

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
Boxed ready to ship, $200 payment made, but the remaining $602.50 balance has not been made. It can stay boxed and ready until I receive the balance, if not, it is ready for the next person.
The George will be there I get to work on it this weekend. I have a new girlfriend and have spent a little less time working on the bikes as a result. I just need to make two more orders or settle for a less impressive peg and crank.

Hopefully non-refundable if the buyer backs out.
She into bikes or at least riding? Bringing to show for the experience? You'll know she's a keeper if she can make it and enjoy it. I speak from experience… ![]()

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
She is an EMT, so I hope she is a keeper. I need someone to fix me up after I fall down and go boom.
She likes bikes, but has a severe latex allergy and is scared to touch the grips or tires. If she can find someone to swap shifts with, she will be going to the show. I am worried someone will call her Tonya as she is short and thin, too.![]()
From what I hear, DSR is going to be in full force. Not sure how we will all make it, but it looks like Paul, Dill, Donnie, Dave, Paul's wife, and two sons are all going. Add Tammy and myself and it will be the most people from Cullman at a bike show so far.
I don't think I will be bringing much to sell this time, but at the rate I am going, I may have two DB frames and a few GT and ACS stems, maybe a Predator frame/fork. Paul is planning to bring a few bikes and parts to sell, also.
Dill, is bringing one Custom bike, but I hope he finishes his other one, too. Ghetto funk machine is the best way to describe it.

Re: Bikes & Strikes III Bicycle Show & Swap Murfreesboro, TN Sept. 15th
If you quit mentioning the "other" name person you are not associated with anymore, I doubt anyone will call her that. Just introduce like you've never met these people at the show, me included. However I'll still chat with you like I do know you ![]()
Remember!! be prepared for the baking sun like last year. Pop-up tents all around make a great day, even on cement/asphalt.

To many T's. ![]()
I think Paul is bringing his two tents. After the Coaster's (Ham Jam 1) show, I will not wear shorts to another show. That was the worst burn I have ever had complete with blisters under the skin.![]()
After thinking about the parts, I may have a few place holders on the bike until I have more time and money (like that will ever happen). I just paid for another Hot Streak frame, just to get the fork, but I now have enough to start working on another project this winter. After two years, one would think I would know to work on them during the Winter and be ready to show during the Summer. Next year, I should have three nice new bikes to show. I'm still tempted to throw the GT together without cables and bring it for some input from the "experts". I just don't know where I would put it as both my bed and Paul's trailer will not have any room left.
