Ha! I don't think it would matter how much chrome there is... nothing can beat Luke's bike. Thanks for the vote :D

:oops: I think you mean Luke deserves this for way more than his awsome build... he is the one that has done all the work with starting the threads as well as build a excellent bike that does deserve the win.

A reminder of your choices!

This is your chance to vote for your favorite 2 bikes out of the 4 bikes built in the last 6 weeks! That's right! You get 2 votes!

At Number 1 we have Randys "Krandall" build, THE LIONESS! The frame was built from scratch using mainly found pieces, that amazing seat was found while out scrapping! Lots of little features on the bike will keep you looking for a long time. Looks like a very comfortable cruiser! Randy takes the win for the most **Bling!**

At number 2 we have Terrys "BigFatCat" build THE MORTICIAN! The frame started life as a ladies Higgins, the amazing metal flake paint was done with spray glitter followed by red lense paint, the seat started life as a skate board deck and I am pretty sure he is the winner for tallest ape hangers and sissy bar! Also check out that amazing shifter handle in the last picture!

At number 3 we have Glens "Glen" "CHOPSTER" Glen joined the build off when it only had 2 weeks to go, and he came up with a very impressive ride in a very short time! It started life as a mountain bike, the twin top tubes were the handle on a push mower originally, the rear wheel is a wide double rim build and the front brake is a cable/chain actuated coaster! Apparently the bike is a real rocket ship because he was able to keep the full gearset, fair to say, it is probably the fastest bike here... Fastest bike winner!

Glen also provided a video to show what it is like to ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OCV3Dx_Tuo



At number 4 we have Lukes "LukeTheJoker" "50 years of Muscle bikes Tribute bike" The frame and rear wheel and hub were scratch built, it runs dual chain drive and dual disc brakes on the rear wheel. The handle bars are double clamped to eliminate flex. Styling features come from a few different muscle bikes and the penguin logo is reference the first production muscle bike released 50 years ago this month. Easily the heaviest bike winner!

If you want any more information or photos of the bikes check out the finished bikes thread: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=70025&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
And the build thread: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=68143&st=0&sk=t&sd=a



This was a very fun build off, and I am sure all the builders would agree that everyone wins because they have an amazing bike to ride! That is a good thing, because there are no prizes in this build off!

I should also mention the great work by those who were unable to finish for whatever reason, there are some bikes in the build thread that are beyond belief!

Re: Muscle bike build off **VOTING BOOTH** Voting over.

Congratulations Luke, and thanks for all the effort you put in with doing the threads regarding this build off.

Also, thank you to all those that voted for my entry... not only my first build off bike, but my first build up on this site. I really appreciate all the good comments and would love to do another build up, but finances are short and I might not be able to... but the upcoming big build off might just be too tempting 8)
