Bad Apple is done! Thanks to you all for your input, advice, innovation, tricks & ideas! It's finally done & tested by a 5'10" 185lb rider (my son Dylan). This has been a fun build & there are so many great projects entered in this contest it will be very hard to decide on just 3 votes! Although this is not my first build, it is my first in competition. I'm glad it is done & I am happy with the finished product. I would like to thank Cameron @ UdallCutomBikes for turning me on to this site! I would also like to add that this website is like no other I have ever visited, just a bunch of guys & gals with the same interest (cool people building cool bikes). No negative comments & everyone has their own definition of cool! People of all ages, races, gender & nationalities are represented here. No two bikes are the same & they all have their own style. This build is dedicated to my buddy Dan Davis who lost his battle with brain cancer recently. Please support brain cancer research!!! Anyway here is Bad Apple finished! Welcome to the flinthills of Kansas!

This is where it all started:

Turned out great , I thought you did a head badge can we see a close up of it ???

Didn't work out, it was too wide (my fault, not Terry's) & I couldn't get it to bend & adhere to the head, so I left it off. :cry: :cry:

See if you can fit it on the bottom bracket
 
Super clean beautiful rat. I thought that looked like Kansas.
 
Good job. Turned out very clean. I like how you matched the shape of the original Murray rear dropouts on your extensions.
 
Thanks to: socratesjpt, Elmer, M.Martian & herr_rudolf for your kind comments! You guys have built some bad bikes as well! Voting is gonna be REAL TOUGH!!! :!: :!: :!:
