Trying to get away from muscle bike madness. The frame is cool, but too long to allow a nana and be comfy:
Trying out wheels and a seat post, I like how the white wheel suggest whitewalls, but save me the $:
Grabbed parts from the blue:
The electra 1.75 wide aluminum wheels are just perfect for this, but I will get the front matching wheel and tire on tomorrow, hopefully test ride!

Good start, you might need a chain on to test ride it.
@biggraham is back in the mix! Great frame to start with, and long 26er muscle bikes can be very fun! Don't let that idea out of your head just yet Graham!
Maybe my most fun and comfortable riding bike yet....Shelby Woody.

Love these frames. There is a caravan of camelbacks in this years build off.
I like the direction your going.

Got the matching electra rim on, and a slightly narrower (but still 1.75) looking front tire, so win win, local hardware store!
I've been giving thought to a matching bent seat post, let's see how the riding position is w those bars. Ape's aren't set in the stone, haven't made it to my stash yet...

Using a regular seat post, this may well work:
Dig it Big-G!
Huge thanks to Oddjob of reminding me of 'Nana power, this may be just the ticket as I dig how the seat flows w the hump!
Tidied up a few things, added a chrome seat post and the chain-guard:View attachment 158070

Popped on a chain, walked her to the garage and rode her home! It's pretty quick, and really scoots along!
Test rides rule! What else have you got planned for this cool ride, Big-G?
