Mid March I entered in another bike build off at Ratrodbikes.com. This time it's restricted to 20" wheels or less but anything else goes. Build off here.
I had these three frames to choose from...
I decided to go with the Schwinn Scrambler (middle) and convert it to a muscle bike using the banana seat and handlebars from the Buzz Bike (right).
The mag wheels I had already painted red.
I've chosen this chain guard.
Think I'll go with these tires.
The pedals I bought at the Peddlers swap meet in Independence.
Decided to use the forks off of this 26" Collegiate. The fork tube was too long so I cut some out and welded it back together.
Made this sissy bar from conduit and painted it aluminum. Also painted the handlebars aluminum.
