The Bikeguide Barcode build-off thread

[barcodebilly]

I'm guessing January 20 something... which is optimistic

[marianodavidleonczik]

so I don't want to piss off anyone of break BG rules with this question since I'm new to the site, but I grew up on a Barcode, and it's a shame that I have no pictures in this thread to show, but I've been considering having a custom Barcode made with some major geomtry tweaks (75 ht, 9.5 s/o, 13.5 cs, 21.5 tt), and keeping the double wishbone.

what level of hell would I get sent to for doing this?

[barcodebilly]

None.. I had intentions of getting a shorter cs one the s&m ones and so did a few other guys on here. S&m said it was a no go... I think you would have to sweet talk solid when they are not busy and maybe just maybe it would happen. Or fbm

[marianodavidleonczik]

I feel like it's breaking all the rules. but you're right, maybe Solid would.

I've whored this one before, but I'll join in on the fun.

FBM built Morsecode

[CHROME_RIMS_YO]

circa 2003 at the height of its glory.

circa 2013 with some recently installed hand me down parts from my cleveland bike (8" T1 bars, T1 grey grips, fly brake, animal clamp, aitken seat, red cable, federal front tire and the fit s1 stem). the barcode stays with my folks in california for vacation time shredding. when i move back in august it's gonna get a makeover. i'll swap the tree 36t for one of my gower powers, add a raw T1 fork, another 2 T1 brown tipped pegs (if i find some), and some OG white downtube stickers i've stashed away for 10 years since purchasing the frame. also if the cyclops stem comes out in my lifetime i'll get one for it as well. maximum T1 components!

i got the frame off Had on here in mid Sept and literally just built it up tonight and taken it round the block and off a few curbs having finally got over some sciatic nerve nonsense.

might get some of those new plegs for it, or one for the front and put an old one from my tool box on the back and maybe put the big aitkin tyre back on the front. seems aiii tho

That red. Totally considering getting mine powdercoated that colour. If only I used it more to warrant it.

That red is hawt

[ralph wiggum]

This was mine for a bit. Stupidly traded it to a friend and now it resides in Kansas. This thing is awesome other than the questionable seat angle from the mostly stripped out seat guts.

[sans.terre]

i know this isn't sell and swap, but seems like the place to mention it -

If anyone is interested I have a set of t1 medium bars (with the sticker) threaded and including tree bar ends. beat up but good.
also - a set of t1 forks. same - beat up but good.  both are black.

If any "collectors" out there want them just send me a pm and ill get you some pictures.
