Below are the rules everyone kind of agreed on, and then my rules added above since they're shorter. This forum is for the build off only.
My rules
1. If you don't like it, don't build anything.
"The Rules"
1.Start date Jan 1st 2012!
Deadline for entry post February 1st 2012! If we do not have an entry post picture by end of day on February 1st you will not be allowed to enter.
Finish date April 30th 2012!
2. No bike allowed unless it's less than half finished! You can start gathering parts and materials now, but assembly and fabrication not allowed until January 1st, 2012.
3. Must be a shot of the bike/parts pile up front with a sign with OldMiniBikes 2012 BBO (Entry Post)!
4. Must be a photo of you riding the bike or a video of the bike running at the end!
5. Must have at least one update by the builder every month! Even if your bike is complete you must post something. This post is due by the 15th of each month!!
6. Finished bike must be a runner.
7. Winner by popular vote - One vote per user
8. Non Starters & Drop Outs will be deleted to avoid clutter. This means if you do not post once per month minimum or make an entry post by 2/15/11 your entry will be deleted. To be clear on this, you must have 1 post in your thread at least once every 30 days. If you go longer than 30 days you will be removed. Constructive feedback is welcome in the threads. However, we will not tolerate bashing or negative comments towards others work. If you do not like something someone is doing then just keep it to yourself. This is not an oppurtunity to begin a flame war.
There will be two classes:
Vintage Class
Engine must be single cylinder, flat head design, or vintage 2 stroke
Centrifical or generic torque converter(such as slip-belt system), or 2 speed jackshaft.
Open Class
Anything goes as long as its in the spirit of a mini bike. Clone engines, pitbike engines, modern frames, home built frames, whatever you can dream up, build it!
