The better question Is; Why Not? People shy away from it because it is work to find and make work. Which is more reason for me to make it work. Thanks for all the leads, Im sure I can some up with some combination of the things mentioned here to make it work.

Re: MUSCLE BIKE BUILD-OFF #02! Get going builders! Is anybody opposed to a frame swap? I am looking at two frames to become one but Im thinking about just gender swapping my donor frame and keeping the same build plan otherwise.

I'll be picking up Machine Age Victims Monark that was in the FS section here. :D :D viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77457&p=751361#p751361

Re: [Muscle Bike Build-Off] Un-Named Preview No, I had to mow the front yard before I could play. :D It also goes in the shed last so it comes out first.

I may bring out a Number of bikes( 6 +/- 1 ), will also be picking one up there.

Re: [Muscle Bike Build-Off] Un-Named Preview Thanks Guys. Well I have been thinking about this thing a lot and think I have come up with a plan on building it. Im going to use the rear Triangle to include the seat tube of this dyno frame it gives enough length for the sprocket. The chainguard...

You will need to remove the hub and go almost as far past the final resting point, as you had to travel to get there. If you want to move each side 1/2 inch you would want to pull 1 inch and it should spring back to about 1/2inch. Just be careful and go slow. Pulling/pushing multiple times to...

Looking Forward to It. Was a good time last time and this one will be better!

Making it stay together I think is the easy part(weld or loctite), mainly just want ting to know how people did it. It will be a single speed I'm not really fond of changing gears. Thanks for the info!

I have seen some people running chains on either side of the rear wheel. I want to put the entire driveline on the left side. Has anyone done this and how did you do it? Any Ideas are welcomed, even if they are to tell me I'm losing it. Thanks

You need axle nuts and I need a Shifter for one of those hubs. :D :D Good luck in your search.

Well, Im going for a little different take on Muscle bikes. Im using a tank bike, other than that it will be pretty conventional Muscle bike. I have some ideas Im not sure are going to work like the huge sprocket, and my steering apparatus. Without further adieu here are the first pics.

I really love that bike.Best of both worlds.(moto-bike and ballooner) Glad to see someone got the best parts of it to keep together!

Thanks, The looking factory was kind of what I was looking to do. I wanted people that aren't "bike gurus" to look at it and say "Theres something different about that, but I guess it could have been that way."

That is just plain Cool!

Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013 Just thinking out loud, one of the requirements is ape hangers. What about steering wheels? http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-bicycle ... 3a852c4d02 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-ad-Hustler ... 231e417ed4 Kicking around some ideas...

Its the "IN" thing and 2 years from now it will be something else.Just like people used to love 10 speeds now everybody wants a single-speed or a fixie. Its all about what is cool today not always what makes sense.

Thats very cool. Seems like it would have more propulsion backwards though :?
