dorifto240 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'll think about it. May do a deal on somethin' else.Question: If you buy a bike for $400 but sell $200 worth of parts off of it, does that give you $300 to spend on the modification. Basically as long as the Net expense is still $500, is it ok?I think that's fair, as long as it's within reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thGix Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I have the Honda and a buddy might tag along with his Virago. Also im going to bring another bike that i built from scratch. Not street legal but fun to ride. whether it can be entered in or not i guess Dorifto can make the call on that.Have the rest of the details been decided?Where?Time?Estimate on number of entries?

We're working out the time and location right now. As a heads up, there might be a date change (most likely moving it back a week into April, that way there won't be a "Biggest Fool In Ohio" Award). No more April Fools jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazer1sniper Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Now that I'm making progress, When are we doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorifto240 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The date is set for the 16th of April! The schedule is as follows:2pm Contestants arrive. You have an hour to prep/ready bikes3pm Judging begins4pm Show Opens To Public6pm Awards9pm (or earlier, depending) End.We'll have the location by posters/fliers up, and a blog running the end of this week. Also, there will be food and depending on the location a new brewery's beer as well (we'll be using their future brewery as the location). It will be here in Columbus. I know that might be a drive for some people. If lodging will be an issue, let me know and we'll try and figure something out. Either a good hotel or a good couch, if worse comes to worse.Fazer, 20thGix (all three bikes), and JoshFZ, I've got you guys on the builders list already. You're good to go, and thank you for the support.Also, if anyone has ideas or leads for sponsors (for PR mainly, we don't need any money, but maybe some swag to give away) I'd love to hear them.

dorifto240 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) For everyone, we did change the name to "Econo Bike" to help clear up any confusion. This is getting more legitimate every day!Matt, shoot me a file of the flier. I'll hit up some local bike places for swag and mybe Mom's tattoo shop.That would be huge! I should have it ready to go by Wednesday. I'll get it to you ASAP! Edited February 14, 2011 by dorifto240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazer1sniper Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I'm putting off a run to the scap yard till at least the bike is done... never know what parts I tossed in there that may save me a buck.

20thGix Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I scope out the scrap material at work all the time. The steel they just let you have if you ask. But if i need aluminium i call and find out the what scrapweight is going for per pound and pay them for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think I'm gonna go ahead and post a build thread on my entry. So if I fail to make the hit time at least there is evidence of the attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got around to tearing it down and sanding off the laziness (surface rust) from sitting around half done.Got a coat of primer on just incase the thats all the farther i get for awhile. Hoping to get all the other parts powder coated this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
