Who's got the most expensive MB?

[macarollo]

I have about $300 in my 196cc Push Trailer setup.

Bike was only $10.

 

[Zomby Builder]

Most expensive

OK Zomby<---(takes this personal) wins. I built Zack from scratch. An old beach cruiser, and a tandam. Cost me about 45.00. THEN two motors, one off flee-bay for 99.00, one from Daves Racing ( GP460) after buying the Trevor Simpson Hi Performance head & Billet X-Can, approx 800.00, a torque converter from Staton 79.00. Parts from USchoppers .com front end & H-bars 150.00. Go-cart supply.com gears, & freewheels another 100.00 Seat from Flee-bay 60.00 NuVinci from Staton another 375.00 Wheels & Tires 100.00, Shimano hydro disk brakes 250.00, 18.75 reduction Gearbox from Staton 250.00 (included the mounting hardware), (Wow Dave Staton must love me!) Powder coating for frame 90.00, chrome plating & polishing another 250.00, Custom Whizzer gas tank & paint 300.00 so far that is 2,948.00 just for parts that I recall. I know that I have forgotten something???? 1000 hours of labor at just 5.00 an hour that is 5,000.00. Soooo - Was it worth it?????? To me it was!

OH yeah The l@@ks on my neighbors faces -- Mothers bringing their children in off the streets, Fathers shouting (wishing they were ME) standing on the sidewalks pointing & yes the POLICE asking me questions --PRICELESS--

This is what I'm talking about.
Nice post.

I tried to go super cheap, then got into it, which ended up costing more than just commiting from the start. Engine kit $230, used bike $110, switched out seat $50, bottom bracket for wide cranks $30, pedals because the old ones didn't fit the wide cranks $10, caliper brake for front $15 but switched to disc $50 plus disc wheel $50, new rear wheel with coaster $40 but switched to disc $50, handle bars $30, bar end type brake levers $30, smaller rear sprocket $30, paint $15, misc bolts/washers $10, leather for grips $8, air filter $20, fuel filter that ebay seller never sent me $8, fenders $40, fuel cap for frame $20. Hmm, $846 is actually less than I thought, must be forgetting something. None of that even compares to the hours spent. The weird thing is I'm kinda bummed to be almost finished. Hmm, a Nuvinci would be a quick way to catapult past the $1000 mark.
