I love the "misfit" from NH but i would crash it into a face plant with the drop bars.

Wait till you guys see the Eliminator build that Peatbog is building in BO7. Also, if it isn't in here, you should check out Smoopy's Scooby Snack from BO6!

Thank you for the compliment!

In as far as the ride positioning is concerned; she has a rear weight bias dialed into her. A probable face plant is equal to that of, or at least lower than that of, riding on a typical road bike. The cool part about all this is that the banana seat allows you to shift your weight further back when braking hard, thus reducing the possibility of an endo.

Did ~8-miles on her today including a steep climb and decent to test ride drivetrain gearing and brake dynamics, she climbed like a mountain goat and while sitting well back on the seat, the steep decent was controlled and uneventful.

She’s a good all around bicycle on both hard pack and pavement – plus, she’s faster than expected!

There's some sweet muscle bikes here, I love 'em myself, here are a few of mine
1965 Sears Spyder 3 speed, love the original flamed seat


Western Flyer 24/20 Buzz Bike, Currently getting a coat of '69 Camaro rally green, planning on doing a houndstooth seat to continue the Camaro theme


AMF Aero-Bee, building this one for my wife, going to be suede blue, some hand done pin striping, keeping the metallic blue seat, with a set of Lester BMX mags and white walls, a slick in the back, some day when money allows I'll be building her a '50 Ford coupe with a similar combination parts


I also have a bunch of other muscle bikes, but these are my favorites

Love the Buzz Bike frames.

Not sure why they seem so cool, but there's something about that frame design that I've always loved.

pjbr413 - How does the 24/20 bike ride? Is it easier to ride than a 20/20" for an adult?

[pjbjr413]

To me it's a lot more comfortable than a 20". Also If you like the look of the mismatched rim diameters, this handles way better than any 20/16 I've owned, I've a few Krates and Screamers.
