I am done with the Clunker. I am pretty happy with the results. First mountain bike since mine was stolen 7 years ago

There are things I didn't get done(seat) but I learned lots. Laced two wheels, spread frame for 5spd rearend and a few other items.

So long and happy trails-----Finished thread w/pics and video

I think I clicked on a time machine with that short video...took me back to '75 and you know Marin wasn't the only place in the Bay Area
where clunkers ruled the dirt trail they just happen to get noticed.
Great representation of those early days of mountain biking...a time of fun and pain as someone always got hurt on the ride , usually a head
injury as we wore no helmets and broken ribs were pretty common ...fun stuff Clancy enjoy the ride but hey wear a helmet .

Mark, Thanks for the comments. I had fun researching and collecting the parts.

P.s. I wear a helmet everday on my commute. These were to recreate the pics from Charlie Kelly's and Alan Bond's sites.

Man that is a nice bike!!! I like those front brakes too!!! I have an old 28 hole front brake that came off a Krate on an old Schwinn Phantom of mine. I'd like to change it out and use a 36 hole front brake like yours someday. Great bike and pics!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks for the comments. The hubs are cool and they were something different, I only wish they worked better.

Troy good to see you around, been missing your party pics
