Re: MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? JUST DAYS TO GO!

Ok, I'm think I'm in. I picked up a green thing with 20" wheels last summer for my 6yr old, his favorite color.

I'll be shooting for just a clean it up and add some interesting bits kind of thing versus major mods.

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)

It’s amazing; someone spent $18,000 on a TV show kid’s bike when for just under $17,000 they could have gotten this Yamaha FJR1300ES!

Priorities :?


Anyway - Build-On guys!!! :)
 
Re: MORE BUILDERS FOR THE MUSCLE BIKE BUILDOFF? STARTS TOMORROW!

May as well build away guys and girls! I meant to keep track of the time over there in the U.S.A. but forgot, so I guess now is close enough! :wink: I will get it sorted for the end time I promise! :lol:

Have fun, keep it encouraging when commenting on other builds and have fun! Oh, I already said that...

Re: MUSCLE BIKE BUILD-OFF #02! Get going builders!

Figured we may as well use this thread now as a notification thread, combined with a "Check out this cool idea Builder X did!" thread and anything else we can think of...

Bring on the builds! :mrgreen:

Luke.

Re: MUSCLE BIKE BUILD-OFF #02! Get going builders!

It was the 1st of October here in New Zealand yesterday. So I decided to look at Chopster (my previous muscle bike build off bike) and see what to do to it.

I realised while looking at it that I am not really feeling it at all :? I never really liked Chopster and I realise now that it is the muscle bike style that just isn't doing it for me. I will have another look at it today and see if I get inspired to attack it. If I don't get the urge, I might not be in on this build off :roll:
 
Re: MUSCLE BIKE BUILD-OFF #02! Get going builders!

If you want to drop out of this one Glen, its all good... If you wanted to build a bike but not be limited to the Muscle Bike theme, there is another build-off starting Dec 1st... Anything Goes! Hint Hint... :wink:

Re: MUSCLE BIKE BUILD-OFF #02! Get going builders!

Is anybody opposed to a frame swap? I am looking at two frames to become one but Im thinking about just gender swapping my donor frame and keeping the same build plan otherwise.
