heavyweight build off . lets hear your thoughts on how to start one!

sure  lots of Midschool  bikes would be a fave to win. but don't rule out some of them old 70's BMX or the new school puss bikes like the Mongoose hoop D lol


I thought it would be fun to show off them tank builds.

this build is open to any stock 20" bike any year. you think will be heave enuff to take the tittle!



if we get enuff of each decaded/year group say 70's ,80's, 90's 2000 up.

then we brake them in to groups bassed on year.
winners of a  set decade/year. willl then go head to head.  with the winners of the other decades for the over all win!

in the even of a tigh. in a  set class. tigh brakers will be voted on by all members base not on just waight but looks. so   if it looks like shit. then it is shit! the votes should prove that.hmm

big_smile I will give the over all wining bike builder  a frame as first place prizecool
+ there will be a best in show voted on by museum members.please vote fare no buddy/friend vots!roll thats  a uncool move.

there should be a 1,2 and 3rd best in show  + a 1 , 2 3rd heavest in show win. if enuf bikes enter? cool

you can enter no more tha 3 bikes in the build off! so feal free to try for a three peet win

yes bike can all ready be built. but you most clean it / do something a little diff with it in the  contest time frame.

Wow I'd definitely be in for that buildoff... I have my '02  S&M Bennett I've been wanting to redo and this would give me a great reason to get into it.

It'd be hilarious to have a "Fattest Bike" catergory, the heaviest bike takes it lol

Re: heavyweight build off . lets hear your thoughts on how to start one!

well I just picked up a NOS powerlite toxic to build... wasn't plan on making it heavy but frame fork and bars weigh a bunch so it will be a tank no matter what I do.

Re: heavyweight build off . lets hear your thoughts on how to start one!

I think we should have more than one class other than weight.  Cuz if we just doing weight I'll get a Tony hawk bike and fill the frame full of concrete... lol

lol lol lol That's good.

Yeah I mean the really take off in, what the mid to late 90's through probably 2005 or so when they started drastically slimming that stuff down. Bmx stuff never really got that heavy or beefy but freestyle really ran with the idea that bigger is better, so it'd be hard to do the whole freestyle/bmx catergory, unless the bmx stuff was the super early boat anchors.

I'm out. It would be unfair of me to unleash this beast on all of you. I think it would crack 40# with a chromo seat post and some pegs.

Re: heavyweight build off . lets hear your thoughts on how to start one!

back in the  day  the  gt aggressor freestyle , i think was  the  heaviest  bike or atleast it seemed  that way when i had one


i'm sick of people lowballing and changing their mind after the details of item were given then asking for money off  or refund .  now all items are sold as is no returns ask all questions before dibbing .
