Well here we are again. I had sworn off of build competitions after spending way too much time on the Decoluxe in the last build-off, but at the last minute this unique little frame came up and I couldn't resist.

Although I loved and rode muscle bikes as a kid, my bike interests are mostly ballooners these days. But I have to admit that it's been really fun wading back into the water with the SmartBike. Getting out and practicing wheelies takes me back to a simpler time!

Thank you to everyone for making this forum a positive and encouraging place to hang out!

HERE'S THE BUILD JOURNAL

Awesome job on the wheelie bar integration and upcycling.
I knew someone could make a great muscle bike from this bike whenever I picked it up on craigslist.
Great work TRM!!!!
 
Congrats on 7th place TRM!
I thought you would be higher up the leader board to be honest...
