Re: 24" Schwinn Muscle Bike **5th UPDATE**PICTURES**

Like the whitewalls play off the white banana seat then the yellow grips play off the frame too. 8)
Wrapped in chrome and you have a winner! NIce Job!
 
Re: 24" Schwinn Muscle Bike **5th UPDATE**PICTURES**

that thing is awsome! I do beleive I would have held out for the white grips, with the seat and tires white would have been perfect.

Those yellow grips really pop on your Banana Splitfire. :mrgreen:
Thanks Kingfish254 They do pop, funny thing is I was torn between white or yellow when I was looking for some online, I'm glad I found theese, it made up my mind for me :)

The chrome should be done in a couple of weeks, so we'll have to see if its a winner or not then..lol.. I have a some "yellow" Standard oil co. crown valve caps coming in the mail as well as some white end caps for the sissy bar. Once I have those along with the decals..the bike will be complete.. Thanks MplsCoaster

Trust me when I say I love white grips, but me being an impatient impulse buyer, and the bike shop having yellow in stock helped on my decision...But I like the way it turned out :D Thanks for the compliment 8)

Re: 24" Schwinn Muscle Bike **2nd to LAST UPDATE**

Looking sweeeeeeet!
I like the way the nana seat is floating. It would be very cool to brace a nana to actually not have a seatpost. Not on htis build, but just thinking out loud.

NICE AND SHINY!!!!
She's a beauty!
Did you come up with a name yet?
Thanks kingfish, He hasnt gave me an official name yet he is debating on a few but I guess he'll let me know when he desides...lol..
 
Very cool... love everything about it... great work!

I'm debating on the fork for mine, but here is my first naner seat build. Still need to add the other decals I bought.

After seeing yours... I might try to find a skunk tail for mine... keeping with the color scheme!

Oh man I love what youve got there, That tank looks great, and the color scheme is awesome... I have a Typhoon that is black and white and I had thought of reversing the color combo....great work, I would love to see it when its finished.. Here is a link to a place where you can get tails for a decent price..they might not have skunk, but they do have a black tail with a white tip that I bought for another build and looks great.http://theodorafur.com/tails/fox_tails
 
Hey BoyBlueLA
The bike is Outstanding! Top of the Line! The chrome is so shiny it’s mesmerizing lol.
Great pictures too. The bright bike compliments perfectly with the Deep Blue Sky. Nice Job!
So what it the scheme for YOUR 24” bike???

Hey Steve, thank you for the compliments..it makes me proud... Mine will have a bigger sprocket on the front and smaller on the rear, I'm hoping to get a Jerald slick and a 3 speed hub mated to a Sting Ray shifter...oh and mine will be red :) thanks again.
Simon.
