First and foremost, I fully blame CRASH for all these muscle bike builds!
I’ve been collecting parts for this bike for a little bit, and since I’m hoping to be finished with my daughter’s bike this weekend (and possibly the Ted Williams bike too, if my chainguard comes back from my sandblaster).
I’m starting with an AMF-built Proven Jet. I’ve determined after looking at tons of cantilever frames that this 60’s era AMF is one of my favorite. As Starnger said, it combines the AMF cantilever with the big belly CWC frames they bought out. I also love the laid back seat tube and steering tube angles on these bikes.
My plan for this bike is build a 3 speed shifter bike, using some pretty unique parts for this kind of build. I’ve sourced some cool rims, tires, and shifter for it already. I’m planning on a wild metal flake muscle bike era paint job of some kind and I’m bouncing an idea around for a pretty cool seat as well, if I can pull it off.
Anyway, here’s my starting point.
