2nd Annual Bicycle Build Off

The Second Annual Bicycle Build Off is going to be held at the Zettle Bros. Speed Shop May 12th 2007. For those who missed out on the fun last year these are the rules: 1. Any bicycle is allowed but it cannot have a motor. 2. Scooters are allowed. 3. This year wagons and pedal cars are also welcome.
Last year we had a budget limit of $300.00 but I think this year will make it unlimited. Also this year were to unvail the '63 Falcon straight axle altered wheelbase that we have been working on for sometime now. Hope to see you all there.

Here are some pics from last year

Out for a little ride!!!

 

I had a blast last year. These guys know how to show you a good time!

 

AA/Fuel34 Pickup Last year at the show

 

That scooter is real kool. This should be a good time. I think I will pass this on to some bike guys. Can't wait!

 

Last year was fun! Kansas' WWII bike was my favorite. Oh, and the vintage washing machine the zettles' have turned into a cooler.

 

This year Ill have my roadster there the truck is gone. Better yet Im feeling kinda frogy I'm gonna try to build a bike this year!

 

tell me more about the show

 

Badass!!!!!!!!

 

How about the secret cooler in the floor?

 

they all look killer. i would like to see more of that in texas. i mean a lot less gold on the bikes.
i built the bike as my av. all steel. no glass.
just like john h, i'm a steel drivin man.

 

Well we kinda got the idea from talking to a guy named Melvin that we met through the Chrome Czars. We wanted to put on a show type get together to showcase what people built over the winter. We picked bicycles because we felt that way a lot more people could join in on the fun with a limited budget. Beer and Hot Dogs are the food of choice. We cook the dogs on a vintage melting pot.

 

Awesome! Notice the 1975 vintage Shimano Disc brake on the wheely chopper bike? I have been collecting them if any of you bike guys have been searching.

Maybe by May I can have my 3 wheeler dug back out of the pile and actually looking like something.

For you Breeder, I'll E-mail you a private showing!!!!LOL

 

ahh shucks

 

Found a old trike in a barn today while redoing a electric service for a guy. I think we have our project for the build off.

 

sounds like a show not to miss. got it on my calender

 

Thats funny because on wednesday I found an old 20 inch Murry chopper sitting along a barn. I was thinking I found a project for your build off too. Its purple and had flames.

 

Hey How about baby strollers? Can they enter the build off?

 

Hey, never thought of that. Sounds good too us.

 

Well it's kinda far for me to go but hows this?....

 

I've had an old scooter sitting in the basement for years just waiting to be butchered (I mean improved). I guess that means one more project to work on this winter.

Thanks for the invite!

 

Shortdog, looks awesome!!! To bad it's too far for you to come, I'd love to see that in person.

 

heres a bike a friend gave me after they took his house for a highway project..kinda thought id do it up one day...but my coupe and sedan are first!!!

 

Can they be already built??
And where, exactly, IS it held??

 

Yes, they can be already built. It is going to be held at the Zettle Bros Speed Shop in Forreston, Il. Forreston is 13 miles south of Freeport or about 35 miles southwest of Rockford.

 

I am building a dozen of them right now in different colors and styles and the will be put into magazines and advertisements after that (for sale) so you may get to see one near you soon if someone buys one.

 

Hey we got to be able to ride these things. You probably know what i am thinking already.

 

Just a reminder, there is 4 months and 4 days to build up your bike!!!
