Finally got to work on this again today for a little bit... Used a piece of 3/4” square aluminum tubing to replace the shock and drop from the original mountain bike stance. Used the original shock mounting bolts to fasten it into position between the front triangle and the rear swing arm. No...

Stripping the red off of the front triangle today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been a long, busy stretch at work so I haven't had a chance to get too much done to it. I did score some parts for it though and had a chance to get them fitted to it to mock it up. Shorty short crankset from a kid's bike... Shortens the crank length about 2 inches from before. Also got a 20"...

Not having the correct monster size Allen wrench and after several unsuccessful attempts (with a 5/8" bolt head) to separate the rear swing arm from the front triangle, I decided to start working on stripping the frame down to the bare aluminum base. Looks like I'm making a trip to Princess Auto...

I'm going to try that and see how it looks. My hope is that it doesn't drop the bottom bracket too low to make it unable to pedal though... The next photo will be of the swing arm flipped and on it. (If I actually get a free moment to get back at it, lol)

Yes, it's the front derailleur mount but I'm only going to put a single front chainring on it. I also have a 3 speed internal Shimano hub that I think I'll use instead of the mtn bike rim with the 9 spd cassette. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a chance to start "envisioning" today. I pulled the shock from the rear swing arm to drop the stance and popped on some 26ers wheels as a start. No major weld fabrication on this frame as I don't have the capability to weld aluminum. Going to have to be a nut and bolt design process for this...

The fork is bent so can't be used as it is. Thinking of fabbing up a triple tree out of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wasn't going to participate in this round because "I have absolutely no inspiration to build a Muscle Bike. I'm a road cyclist at heart and a hobby Mountain Biker. Muscle bikes are what I rode around when I was 7 years old. At my age, I'm more refined in my bicycle tastes." Had myself convinced...

This was an awesome Build Off! And the winner, WOW! L'Angelo is a piece of art. Totally humbled to be in the same Build Off with all of these great visions brought to life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks KOTA. Your build is nothing to sneeze at either. Awesome adult scooter design!

Thanks OJ

I had the perfect opportunity to do that. My daughter works at a grocery store but because Monday was a holiday here nothing was open so couldn't get it totally completed before. I will make it happen though for sure.

Done!! Hmm... Now to choose the feature photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some free hand fork artwork with a paint pen... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Losing the big green monster on the front, adding another "licence plate" on the front in its place and fancy-ing up the front forks It's Ontario after all, we have to have a plate on the front and the back of our vehicles here. :) (As WBO 2017 Pork Chop takes in the whole scene from the...

I wish! Those are tough to come by (other than snatching a whole cart from a grocery store today, lol) I work right next to a homeless shelter so my stock has come from discarded models from those who have "traded up" to those newer models with the new fancier options. None of those are on the...

Yes, I agree. The front basket bounces all over when riding it and really doesn't have any load bearing capacity because the plastic is so flexible. I think I have another "plate" I can use from the original cart to use on the front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was, from the beginning of the build off, determined to have this finished by Sunday, Aug 6 because Aug 7 here in Ontario, Canada is a holiday and if I needed anything material-wise to finish it off last minute, I'd been screwed today because nothing would be open. Turns out though most places...
