Next build off………

[Wildcat]

Class two for me also, exactly what is still up in the air.

 

[Son of Kradus]

I'm in Class Two since my build is not an original Muscle Bike. It is a Schwinn and I'm thinking you guys will dig it.

Me Too, still not quite sure whats comming out of the Gargage but it'll be a ground up build

Only for rebuilt and refurbished original muscle bikes or accurate reproductions that represent “genre-correct” muscle bikes.

We're going to need a definition of "original muscle bike" before the contest starts, or this will get contentious. I don't know what class my bike is

Must meet at least 2 of the following 3 criteria to be considered a Muscle Bike:

1. Rear tire larger than the front. (Wider or taller or both)
2: Banana/Polo seat
3: Muscle bike appropriate bars
(Apes, mini apes, Butterfly, Rams Horns, steering wheels, or any other weird variants, etc)

You CAN have all 3!!

• Start a new thread in the forum’s Build Off section and use the bike name as the post “Subject/Title.” Keep a running journal in your thread about your build. This is a build off, not a bike show. Any bikes built prior to or not documented are not eligible
• Must include before, progress, and finished photos (all in one thread please)
• Bikes must be ride-able and pedal powered.
• The Build Off will begin at 12 am North American Central Time on 9/1/23 and Final finished bike photos must be posted in the “Finished Bikes” thread by 12 noon North American Central Time 11/30/23
• Any questions about the build off must be submitted in the discussion section.
• Please be courteous to others and do not fill their build journals with off-topic posts. If it continues after a moderator warning, your account will be nuked.

This whole competition is all in good fun. The whole point is to be creative, build something cool and have fun!


Class 1: Super Stock/Mild Custom: Only for rebuilt and refurbished original muscle bikes or bikes that represent the true nature of muscle bikes utilizing a stock frame. Only minor frame changes are allowed (cutting off tabs, etc)
This is more of a paint, shine, resto, mod for the bolt on builder
Extensive frame mods may be moved into class 2

Anything that bolts on, including forks, can be modified as much as you want.

Class 2: Super Modified, no holds barred, stretch, slam, built from scratch, do what you want as long as it is ridable and meets Rule #1



Multiple entries from one builder are allowed, but they must have their own build threads and be entered for voting separately

Class 1 sounds like it doesn't need to originally be a muscle bike, as long as the frame isn't modified to any great extent.

And then there's that...
Era correct japanese "SuperMotorBike"

Would this count as original muscle bike? (asking for a friend)

I tweaked the verbiage a bit for the Official rules thread

I don’t know what that is! But I sure do hope to see you build something out of it!

Already been on it... Twice...
Third time is a charm. Hopefully!

A friend of mine in NJ sent me this. I asked him to pick it up for me, but it didn’t work out. If anyone is in NJ go get this!!

Wow, that is nice! So many details

 

[SwissGuy]

Trike rear axle is all packed up and on it's way towards me
View attachment 245535

The trike parts arrived today (didn't unpack them yet, they are still in the trunk of my car).
On Sunday I will take a look at this nice bike:

I think that could be tweaked into a nifty muscle trike...

Very interesting

Very interesting

That was exactly my first thought when I saw it. It's been built within a small series by the uncle of the seller. I'll get to test ride it on Sunday.
Then I will see if it fits...
