Golden Age of BMX Build Off (win a Hutch!) Options

[calismoooth]

Some of you might have seen this on the bay last week. It showed up Monday and should be a fun build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It is completely torn down...
Am i eligible?

I also have an 88 Auburn, that I am still and have been slowly working on... Is that also eligible?

I have an old NOS Lime Green Streetbeat I have been meaning to build. And a General Bike Co. 1986 fork powder coated by C2 labs to match. Are Skyways too played out? I think I have some fresh ideas for it though. Do all the builds need NOS parts from the 80-91 time period to qualify or be considered? I have just about had it after scavenger hunting for the better part of 10 years. My man PorkChop pretty much has all the main components I need.

Although Skyway's freestyle bikes don't fetch the kind of bucks as their race bikes, they're an important part of freestyle's heritage - I say build it up!

There are no rules about components being from a certain era or OG vs. repop, etc. Just the frame has to be manufactured between 1980 and 1991. I've seen plenty of bikes tastefully built up with repop that steal the show versus an all OG bike (and I've also of course seen the opposite be true). Build what makes you happy - don't build to win. Winning a build off is just icing on the cake - that's why the BIG prize in this build off is being randomly given to a participant, regardless of the "level" of their bike.

Thanks PorkMan!!!

Too bad there isn't a Mid School Build off. I love how this 2000 Dyno Air turned out. Powder from Ultimate Finishers (Newark NY), Drive train and wheels from Niagara Cycle Works, Grips and Brake Levers from Porkchop, Brakes, Gyro, Freewheel and Cables, from DansComp.

Yes. The requirement is that you build the bike during this build off. Before pics aren't required but if you think anyone will question whether or not it was previously built, it wouldn't hurt to post a pic here.

Someone asked me why we didn't just call this the "Summer Bike Build Off" - the answer: It isn't summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

This contest (and the resulting prizes) is open to anyone, worldwide. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've had this thing hanging up for 18 years. This might be the incentive I need to do something with it.

Original paint and decals with plenty of scratches and chips. Still nice enough to not require a repaint. I have about half of the period-correct parts to build it.

I can't decide which I should build...I have a brand new Chrome 1983 JMC 3.1 XL frame and fork. It was NOS, the warranty card is still around the seat tube.

OR

A pre serial number NOS Hutch Pro Racer. From the Brake bridge I am guessing that it is a 1982 frame. It has never been built up either.

Decisions... decisions. I'll post pics to track the progress.

Just so I am clear... We are only allowed to post 4 pictures of the bike total?

build em both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
