Not wanting to sound too much like our friend snapper

, is anyone interested in a budget build off?

You know the score, cheap as chips plenty of elbow grease, something different for us to gawp at for 5 mins

I can set a few rules if enough of you are interested

Go on then , what`s the rules ? I`m building a budget cruiser at the mo .

Good man, bored at looking at all these fancy pants bikes

For a start was thinking of setting a £125 budget inclusive of any parts you may already have and setting a date in december for voting for a winner. May even have a little plastic trophy

A sort of poor mans bike of the month for any bike, any age before 1995 maybe

Can fix some definate rules if we get enough peeps pulling their finger out

Yeah go on im up for a budget build

Don't think you will be able to do much with that budget?

What about pre 1985 £250 budget including or excluding any postage costs of the items?

£250 is a bit high in my book what about £175. looking to include as much variety as possible with era's and get peeps being creative with their builds, beg, steal, borrow but keep your cheque books out of it. I could build at leat 2 completes with the crap in my shed as i'm sure we all could.

Its not about Dia compe this or Kashimax aero that, lets have some laughs and get creative, swap bits, restore bits that you would normally sling

Come on guys it could be a right laugh

Sorry I`m out . My GT cruiser frame is a 2000 and something . It was only £31 off Ebay though...

Is this going to turn into a who can build the worst

I,m in

Problem is ,i can build a loopy ripper or something for under £250
as i only paid £50 for a full bike years ago and still have it all in parts
So rules might be a problem

I reckon even parts in stock we should take the average cost to buy one NOT bargins or ill stick my Skyway TA in only cost me £150!

Burner_Boy · « **Reply #15 on:** August 04, 2012, 06:12 PM »

Wicked idea... As for a £50 Ripper and £150 TA thats incredible, two bikes id love to have! Still camt believe my ripper deal fell through the other month, was really hyped about getting it too

oldschoolace · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2012, 06:19 PM »

Right there seems to be enough interest so i will set it up with some tasty strict rules in tech and resto

Seriously this could be a right laugh with some whacky builds showing off some low end parts

oldschoolace · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2012, 06:55 PM »

Thread now up over in tech and resto. Get yourself over there and get your name down

DoubleD · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2012, 07:00 PM »

So a patterson pr200 i scored for 50 euro and building up with left over parts will do ?

got shit enough to build me a cheap bike for under 100 euro

oldschoolace · « **Reply #19 on:** August 04, 2012, 07:11 PM »

Cool get over to tech and get your name down

gary67 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 04, 2012, 07:24 PM »

£100 would be good,any BMX any era

im doimg a budget gt pro at the minute for me n me lil lad to thrash about on

Taipan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2012, 02:50 PM »

I think the more low end budget type bikes from bitd would be the best way to go? The fact that you have managed to pick up a well known make for peanuts at some time is all well and good but not the point,so my opinion would be low end is the way to go
