BO15 American Muscle

[Binz]

Ok, I'll get down with the get down...ha
So I've had some ideas for a while now, my as well join the build off. My last build was the perfect rusty rat and turned out killer! This one will not be a rat, or crusty, it will be nice. I buy, fix and sell a ton of middleweight schwinns. Instead of just stripping them down cleaning them up, and putting them back together. I'm going to build a 26" muscle bike starting with a 1963 American that's pretty nice condition. I'm going to outdo myself and build a rad bike, stay tuned...

Sounds like a plan. RaT oN~!

I collect bicycle plates from my hometown. I like to put the correct plate for the year of the bike. I think I'll strip it down and repaint it. Something I havent done yet.

Nice touch. Maybe a seat covered with dungarees material?

Always wanted to put a Jerald Sulky tire on something, this will be the build! Ebay 26s with beefy spokes! Duro brick for the front. Both 26x2.125.

Lookin' good.

That is a killer parts parade! Especially the shifter and Sulky.

 

[OddJob]

Ditto on the parts parade ^ ! And you are drawing inspiration from your creative environment as well, I'm sure. Honda 3-wheeler, Old Style lighted sign, vintage Coleman cooler, webbing camp chair, RF art, and a collection of cool painted buckets!
