Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Yea, I cut the left side tubes, rewelded, cut the rear dropouts off a couple of times, kept running into alignment problems no matter what I did, in the end I waisted 4 days messing with things and got nothing done, it took me only 1 day...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. I took a couple of steps backward myself. A double top and bottom tube frame requires a bit of aligning that I had not fully considered when putting together my bike last week. In the end, I was spending so much time pulling this, than...

Great bike! Can I have the seat? ;) Rich

Re: Centrix Earthscraper Thats a first class looking ride Lucas... great job! Rich :mrgreen:

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. I like it Terry, I was thinking along the lines of a homemade bannana seat also. I have some leather remnants around here somewhere but I have to admit, I never thought in terms of an old leather jacket. I may hit a couple of the thift...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Hey Luke, totally sick, dual drive while completely impractical from all engineering aspects is Totally Cool! from every esthetic viewpoint! Nice way to go. As for mine, the devil is in the details, and I am ashamed to admit that is where...

Re: Almost Evil Cool bike, good luck with the voting! Rich

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Thanks a lot Lucas, and Terry. Terry, somewhere on that sissy bar you need an Iron Cross, Don't lean on it and you will be fine :shock: Rich

In Italian it would be Rosanaite, redheaded lady. (I may have spelled that wrong, the name of a very famous wooden laught) Rich

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Luke has a hot set of wheels, that is for sure. I am really looking forward to seeing the whole bike done :mrgreen: 8) Terry I agree with Jake, I like the purple. make the rest of the bike match, well thats another story UI am sure...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Well I borrowed the double top rail idea from your build, I was leary of using the single chainstays to hold the rear together. I just wanted to play it safe, in hindsight the singles would have worked good, these monsters aint breaking or...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Measure it, than tell me how long it is...I maybe able to help you. Rich

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. What size are the tubes you need Jake? Thanks terry, I'm anxious to see it tacked up too, I put the dropouts on it temp before I left, they looked good. When do we get some good shots of the paint on your build. I've wanted to try the...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. That's looking good JAke, your dad's bike too! Did you find a bigger top tube or you went with what you had? I'm still behind everyone by quite a bit, hopefully a full day tomorrow will catch me up some... Metal came yesterday while i was...

All the common adjectives have already been used... that is something else! Way over the top. Rich

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. cool build... wasn't this supposed to be a freash build for the competition? Rich

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. NP Luke... If the metal arrives today, I'll be able to continue. I will probably have to make some time constraint decisions over the next few days, school, finding work, the chopper build, muscle bike build, study, house cleaning... to...

I like it, but I would have preferred the frame to be stretched out a bit, the circles are too tight, just my preference. I have been following many different threads with Bing and Google searches over the last year, I think this basic idea has been done before (frankly, I think all the designs...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. Lucas, for me, I can understand your situation, my bike is likely to suffer the same fate. I enetered the contest just to see what it would be like... it's been a pretty heavy financial burden... but I will finish the build. Wish I had...

Re: Anything goes "Muscle-Bike-Build-Off" Build thread. I am waiting on a delivery of metal, Hopefully today, than things should start moving again for me. Luke, what kind of tire goes on the homebuilt rim? I would like to see some more pics of your rim if possible, I have been trying to...
