Not messing with you...I just tend to overlook the materials because I'm not 100% convinced WebCo BMX rims are actually a magnesium alloy and not an aluminum alloy with a large amount of magnesium.

need a biopsy of magnesium webco

I thought someone (maybe him) was going to do an Everesting attempt as well. I know Francis Cade just recently did one on a bmx bike

Dave did several years ago on a yellow chopper. He's still the man!

Kind of reminds me of one of your rigs hampea. Looks like he uses some kind of Shwalbe on the front? Making me want to build something.

Changed my my riding style since. Have plans for another rocket next year. Still a work in progress. More aero.

Cool one! Always wanted to try a set of brifters on a rams horn Fastback. Really cool chainguard on that.

Must say I do like the Western Flyer Skeeter Buzz Bike 2+1 wheelie bike.

Speaking of wheelies, was out on my Stingray watching a kid on a Big Ripper raising it up in the parking lot. That means doing wheelies for us old farts. After finishing my pizza we both got on the drag and raised up at the same time. Held it the whole way with him. Highlight of my evening.. Slice was pretty good too.

What came first the MB or Pig bikes ?

Pig bikes were part of the impetus for the first muscle bikes. However, I don't think either term was coined until much later .

 

[sandman]

And the term wheelie bike was also before Muscle Bike .
I was looking for a little more info . Like where did they get Polo seats and Ape hangers pre Muscle bike ? Maybe motor bikes ?
