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

[wired]

I wanna play...
im rebuilding my old bike.. that was mine originally.. From the 80's when I raced..
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?

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?

Time to get serious about my Badd and Company 20"! I bought the frame/fork in the Fall of 1991 so I'm assuming it qualifies?. I don't think they dated their serial numbers. It's BCS2054. I know the BCS20 stands for (B)add and ( C )ompany (S)tretch (20)" so I'm guessing the (54) is the 54th Stretch frame made. Am I in?!?

Sheez yeah, it's freezing down here at the moment.

The four pic max is just for the submission thread only. Since each page defaults to 15 posts that's 60 pics that will have to load for each page of entries. I highly recommend you start a build a thread and document your progress including the finish. Add that link to your four submission pics and people will be able to see everything you want them to.

Well, if you bought in '91 it had to made before then. With a quick Internet check I see ranges from 1987-2001. Any other Badd fans care to chime in?

The title is a misnomer....it says golden age which should include the earliest BMX bikes. Is this vintagebmx.com or mid schoolbmx.com? Not sure the motive behind this but I hope the rules will be reconsidered and opened up to include bikes from the Golden Age of BMX. Just my humble opinion.
