My off road and skinny bike builds are done and for a while I thought how cool it would be if I could slam a bike together for the Muscle bike class too.
I've had this late 60's Typhoon frame for over 10 years and recently used the fork, seat, handlebar and wheel set for my Speedliner. I have never entered a completed bike in a build off using this frame however I believe I have built it at least 6 times and this will be the 7th comeback hence the name a bike named Lazarus.
This morning I was thinking how I could meet the class rules as I don't have a banana or polo seat but then remembered I bought a 24" Electra Hawaii by mistake off Facebook for $30 late last year thinking it was a 26". I only realised my mistake when I went to collect it and still bought as it was in great condition and will suit my 7 year old daughter in a year or so.
I will use the front wheel from the Electra and combine it with a similar wheel and tyre from a 26" Electra. I'll begin pulling the other parts later today and hope to get it slammed together by Friday.
