Title: Street Beat Biker Build Off
Post by: Zippy on November 19, 2005, 12:19 AM
I noticed on that other site that they were having a street beat building contest, so I thought why not do the same here.
We have already got some good examples already built (Dave), but with all the unpainted ones arriving soon why don't we have a healthy bit of compitition to see who can build the best bike.
I don't think it should be a throw as much money as possible at it style of contest, just about which bike looks the most asthetically pleasing to look at.
How about a closing date of the end of April
Let me know who wants to enter and I'll add your names to the list.

Zippy
Moose
Dordy
Ash
Flaz
DazBMXIt
Gmac

Come on there should be more than this.

I guess it's for any street beats that are out there. Yours is going to be hard to beat though.

I've got a variation on yours in mind though. It should look the dogs.

I'm in  ;D ;D ;D ;D
but mine will be on a tight budget  :-[ :-[ :-[

Post by: Zippy on November 19, 2005, 10:39 PM
I know what you me as well. That's why it's just going to be a comp on which one looks the best.
Having hutch beartraps and redline flights isn't what I want this to be about. It's just about which Street Beat looks the best.
With all the unpainted and green beats about there should be quite a few entries for this one.

I'm in. Got a few cracking ideas too  8)
Title: Re: Street Beat Biker Build Off
Post by: Zippy on November 23, 2005, 06:56 PM
Excellent, git it built and get it up on the site.

I think in oreder to keep things a bit of a surprise nobody should show they're finished bikes until the last day. That way everyone will be really surprissed at who's built what. What does everyone think. Good idea or bad idea.
Obviously for those that have already built your streetbeat and put pictures up that's ok, just gives us something to aim at.
Who's going to knock Dave off his StreetBeat perch.

Looks like our Street Beat frames may be here soon from Ed. He's suffered a bit in the recent Hurricane and he's apparently dispatched them.
So looks like we're all going to be having a busy January then.

Title: Re: Street Beat Biker Build Off
Post by: dordymush on November 28, 2005, 09:43 PM
 :).
so what you lot doing with them then. painting them or powder coating. which is the best ?.
Title: Re: Street Beat Biker Build Off
Post by: Zippy on November 28, 2005, 09:47 PM
I though I'd get mine powdered, but only because I know somewhere near my old mans that does it really good.
There is a guy on here that paints frames but I've forgotten his name.

This doesn't close until the end of March so there's no hurry. Lets get Christmas out of the way then think about it.

But remember don't post a picture until the last day of March as it'll be cool to see all these street beats appear at once.

Is everyone cool with that.
Title: Re: Street Beat Biker Build Off
Post by: daz bmx it! on November 28, 2005, 09:52 PM

Well I went and picked my frame/forks up this evening, and I can tell you they are awesome.  :o :)  Can't wait to get it built up, but just need to get it laquered first.

Pretty sure there won't be another like this one anywhere  :)

Before I sold mine I was going to do mine in a bengali Tiger print car seat cover. I would have just covered the bike in double sided sticky tape and stuck it to that. Thus not damaging the frame in any way. I discussed it with Dave and was all up for it but then the wife found my credit card bill and through an eppy the like of which I've rarely seen.
