Any idea on the dates? Would like to participate, but want to make sure I will not have any big hurdles in the way this summer filled with other projects.

Working on the dates now. Will have them listed soon. Didn't want to lock things up if this went like a fart in the wind... Response looks good so far!!!

I dont understand this rule.

One major part  must be acquired in the 12 week window  from the museum. Majors include: Number plate, Bars,Pedals,Crankset,Seat,Seatpost,Grips,Wheels,Tires,or Brakes. In the submission thread, you will need to post a link to the dibs  post for the required part. This makes everyone relatively even, since you can't go into the tubs and pull out all of your goodies.

So we have to buy one thing off the museum for this build? or do all are parts have to be bought off the museum?

I bought my 87 pro compe f/f/b/p on here about 2 months ago got it powdered and it's just been sitting.
Been collecting parts for it for the past 2 months but just bought the last part I needed which was the chainring today from here.
Does that mean I can't enter??

I'm not a fan of submitting previously built bikes.

Let me get this straight cuz I can be a dunce from time to time.

1. We have to prove we bought a part from a Museum sale in a certain window

2. We can't use any "new" soft goods (pads, tires, cable's, tubes)


If so, I'm out. I don't build carpet queens. I'm not putting $200 tires on my General.

POST #15... ERA APPROPRIATE TIRES. AUTHENTIC IF YOU SO CHOOSE, BUT IF YOU MEET THE SPIRIT OF THE ERA... IT'S GOOD. NO ODYSSEY OR THE LIKE... YOU CAN USE ST COPIES, COMP III,IV COPIES,ETC...  THE POINT IS A CREATIVE, KICKASS BIKE. NOT  HOW MUCH YOU SPENT ON TIRES.

This sounds fun. I have a question, I have '97 Dyno Compe frame that I was about to do something with for the heck of it. I realize it's post '91, but the geometry, look, design of the frame is identical to an '85 Compe, maybe aside from a serial number or amount of 4130 in the frame.
Would that fall into the "Era correct" category of should I find something else?

Must be era...sorry

you should have included midschools...maybe up to 1999 Just my opinion

.....im in.

I asked this too. New tires are fine as long as they are a period correct looking tire. Repop Comp III style ect. No Tioga power blocks or new tread technology. I'm pretty sure new cables and housing are OK.

I have everything already except for bars and other tid bits.

If the consensus is for a longer build time, that's cool. Not set in stone. Also, I'm sure not many use dated cables,etc. for an internet contest.  This is a general interest thread, so the clock hasn't started yet..
