[sssidewinder]

Nice rides everyone!

Here's my 'klunker' ...or 'big guy BMX bike'



i'm working on a rattier, klunkier version using a '52 Schwinn straight bar frame...will post a pic when it's done.

Heres mine. A real blast on the trails. Same bike now as of Dec 2010

My 20 minute klunker. Took about 20 minutes to build from parts I had laying around. Fun bike, but I would like a better seat.



Pile of leftovers!


Made some changes!


I have some red anodized rims to lace up for it. I would also like to get some shorter crank arms (it has 175mm arms now).

Here's mine, though I doubt I would ever try jumping it over a stump.

Wow...I bet it's light

Obligatory "I'd Rather Be Klunkin'" shirt-shot. I'm aboard Alan Bonds' '37 Schwinn on Repack (my '35 just had a mechanical and Alan kindly walked it down the hill to the shop in town and let me ride his). This was the day before the world premiere of Klunkerz. Along with us on the ride was Alan Bonds, Joe Breeze, Russ Mahon and a few others. It was a blast:).

My '35 (below) and '37 (above). The '37 I traded to Alan for a Bianchi road bike.

My '33 Schwinn B-10. The first year of the "26 fat tire bike. I believe this bike this bike still hangs in Peri's Silver Dollar Saloon in Fairfax, CA. We had a rip roaring party and it looked so good hanging there that I just left it. The Sweetheat on that thing was MASSIVE. There was absolutely no riding up on that thing.

Well now youve gone and down it! Now i'm building a Klunker because I seen this post, thanks alot! lol

This seems to be a good place to ask, What kind of frame should I use? I'm canadian so those canti frames arn't as common besides department store bikes. those are everywhere... wait a min I thought of something. What if I make a Mini Klunker with my Mustang frame?! lol I get lots of Raleigh sports but they wont hold big wheelsI guess I coulf get a frame shipped in, can't cost that more for a bare frame.

Thanks for the pics Billy....can't beat that shot of you flying down Repack!

Me and Joe trying to save my chain before Alan fell on the sword and took my bike back to town for repairs. A new chain was required.

[klunkerbill]

Oh yeah, that's Joe's original bike. He won a lot of Repack races on this bike before he built Breezer #1, the world's first purpose built mountain bike with all new parts:).

Man...you're one lucky dude Billy.
