Being a fan of muscle bikes I thought it would be nice to see them all in one place. Flex your muscle! Show off your muscle bikes here. Factory and kustom.
Don't want to get in to a debate on what a muscle bike is but I think of them as the 20" banana seat, apehanger bikes. Of course smaller and larger versions are welcome.

Re: Muscle Bikes

Great idea, I've got a few of these. I think it's safe to include choppers in the musclebike catagorie, most of them were built from musclebikes.

Re: Muscle Bikes

Great stuff so far. Anymore? Stingrays seem to be dominating.
Poppa your post is what got me to thinking about this.
Someday I would like to build a 24" muscle bike even though I can ride a 20" pretty comfortably. I'm not a big guy (at least in height).
 
Re: Muscle Bikes

I built mine from a old Trek Mtn bike I found in a dumpster. An old Hybrid frame might work better as it could be less diamond shaped. The mtn bike wheel accepted the big cruiser ww very well.
