Here's my newest BMX, muscle bike abomination.
I'm 6' tall and when I set on it my hands are just about above my shoulders. Go big or go home eh?
I bent the front forks by hand. They are 26" forks off of an old cruiser I had. I bolted it down to my metal work bench and slipped a pipe over each leg of the forks and slowly tweaked it until I'd dropped the front by about 2". Next on the list is paint. This should turn out to be green with flames. By the way, it's a girl's bike because I have two daughters. :wink:

Good looking Corvette!
I found this Electra RR at the local swap meet for a measly $30. The only thing I've done to it is get new grips and straighten the wheels, and it rides great! I'm going to change the seat and maybe throw on a bent springer, but that's the extent of my plans for now.
