Call up Ross and tell them the should have made a 24" Apollo they would have sold alot of them! excellent job! Leo

PS: Unless you guys are tired of seeing this thing I'll post some pics when I finally have it completely done.

Still need to find a good Apollo sissy. I tried to put a tall "48 sissy on but because of the lengthened frame it leaned forward at a strange angle and looked ridiculous. I rode this all summer with the duct tape seat and small bars on it and it is officially my new favorite rider, it's even better with the taller bars. I think it came out so nice I'm thinking about building another, only a 3 speed this time, I already have 2 frames to start with. Maybe a 24 x 20 version?

Great looking 24" Apollo. Now, put it on ebay and say it is a proto-type and watch the bidding begin.............LOL Great Job!!!

I thought of a similar build in the past so that I could ride it more comfortably. I have 4 of them currently. One could be a candidate for this. John
