I have soooo many muscle bikes that need to be put back on the road and intended to do a couple this year as impetus to get going here on RatRodBikes. My Dad/Best Friend/Mentor passed on Nov. 1 that has put my plan on the back burner for a while so please forgive my tardiness getting going.
This delay has worked out it seems. Just before Christmas I was looking on CL for bikes I don't need or really have room for when I became enamored with a stupid Walmart bike!
A low mileage Mongoose Beast that was the same amount as my Christmas bonus and I don't even like green! Much less a ridiculous fat bike that weighs almost 50 pounds. FROM WALMART!!! What a waste of perfectly good money.......
Until I started thinking about some parts that have been taking up space to support dust that might turn that thing into a pretty cool muscle bike and had to have it!
I found time to finally do a mock-up to get started on my vision & see if it will work. Initially pleased with this starting point.
Now maybe I can get some sleep now that the image is out of my head.....![Zany face :zany_face: 🤪](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f92a.png)
And one to conform with the 2 outta 3 rule.
More to follow............![Victory hand :v: ✌️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/270c.png)
