Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

Ok, I'm in! I've got something fun in mind. Might as well use that as motivation! :lol:
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

I think mine might be a good fit. Looking at doing a lowered version of this:

Would that work?

With ape hangers of course.
 
ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

I hope you can join us Gold Street!
I cant see your photo Joosh, even tried opening it in a new tab and it came up as private and required a log in... Provided it meets the rules I can't see a problem though! :wink:

At least 2 of the three required:
1: Banana seat.
2: Bigger tire on the back than the front.
3: Ape hangers.

Luke,

New link on the photo. works for me now! I guess it counts as a banana seat...
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

I saw this on craigs. Could be cool as well.

Still no go on the photo Joosh, maybe it might be worth trying photobucket or Flickr?
That Craigslist bike is crazy! Trying to imagine it now with a banana seat, ape hangers and a smaller front wheel... :shock: :lol:

Luke.
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

Ok. Third times a charm! This time with photobucket.
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

I guess dropbox isn't as good as I thought.
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

Alright, I’ll jump into the pool! I’ll post pics of progress done on the muscle bike – a 2007 Schwinn Manta Ray.

Some inspiration – a rare pic of George Barris' Eddie Munster bike (legend has it that this bike was stolen and has never been found)

I sure hope so!
 
Re: ANY MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? OCT-DEC 2013

I have this Murry i took apart to get the seat post out it was rusted stuck and wouldnt budge the last owner broke it in the frame so i had to drill a hole in the bottom and use a steel rod to pound it out .





It will give me a good reason to get it back to gether id go with a hot wheels theam ..

Nice one Mastronaut! This build-off is getting more and more builders! Very cool!

Stumbled upon a reproduction 16x1.75 tractor tread style tire yesterday while buying brake cables for my bmx build, could not pass it up for the $12 asking price! :mrgreen: Best bit is, I am such a good customer I now get 10% off there as well! :shock: So here is my $10.80 tire:

It will go on the front of my build, been collecting other bits and pieces, but that tire has solidified my vision of the bike in my head, so very, very happy at this point!

Not long to go now!

Luke.
