define "muscle bike" ~Noobville

[OddJob]

I am thinking of entering my second build off ever....that is the the upcoming muscle bike one starting in September. So, what are the parameters of a muscle bike build entrant?

Basically, look at stingray, crate, eliminator style bikes. Then add your imagination!! Ape hangers, banana seats, drag slick, big rear tire and small front tire, these are all Muscle bike parts.

Don't worry about trying to use a 20" kids bike.......my favorite Muscle Bikes are the ones that fit me!!

I was thinking about either a 16" starter bike for future grandchild, or maybe a 24" wheeler with a smaller front wheel. Found a couple hot prospects locally on CL...

For the muscle bike build off the entries have to have at least 2 out of 3 things.

1: Rear tire larger than the front.

2: Ape hanger/tall bars.

3: Banana seat.
