The great budget build off thread ***Deadline extended to 23rd Dec***
« on: August 04, 2012, 06:35 PM »
Ok guys, assuming this is ok with the mods, let the fun begin  ;D

Rules:

1 All builds must date before end 1995
2 Anything can be entered, freestyle, race, cruiser, etc
3 The budget is £175 all in. This must include the current average market value of any of the parts you already own but postage and free parts are exempt
4 Judging will be by a voting system similar to the usual BOTM threads.
5 Entries must be in by 8pm sunday 23rd Dec and voting will conclude at 8pm on sunday 30th Dec

This glorious trophy will be awarded to the lucky winner




And a second prize trophy (the top third of the main trophy) will go to er... the second place entry  ;D



Please dont cheat with the budget, this isnt about draping expensive bits on an expensive F/F its about your creativety, inginuity and passion for bmx   :4_17_5:

Feel free to use this thread for build updates, score announcements, taunts, whatever seems fun and interesting.
Get your names down and i will add them to a list in this post

Good luck guys  :daumenhoch:

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Just been looking at your build, nice job  :daumenhoch:
The reason i set the date at 95 is that bikes and parts beyond that are really cheap and easily found.
Would love to include your build but there needs to be a bit of a challenge  :daumenhoch:

Good excuse to start another budget build though  ;)  :daumenhoch:

I reckon the best overall rule, is that you can't own any of the parts at the start.  Set a start time and you must buy, beg or steal from that moment on?
