4. You must use a MINIMUM of 3 distinct groups...you can't just drop on an entire c-record group. The idea is to combine things.
5. NO ICS or things that are modified by others. NO DRILLIUM, unless it was offered stock.
6. You must select everything visual...frame/fork optional...as are parts you can't see.
Hmm... here's my frankebike:
1. Function actually counts in my case. This is a usable, purpose-built bike.
2. Everything was chosen to work very well together.
3. Everything works together, and parts were modified to fit: fenders modified, taillight modified, front rack modified, BB modified... heck, the frame itself was modified.

[I think that qualifies as multigenerational frankenbike as it spans the 1950s thorugh 2011, with Japanese, French, Austrailian and Tawianese component!]
5. I did all the mods myself
6. I selected everything
Does this qualify?
