    El Niñer

    The inspiration for this bike was in early Klunkers, running classic one piece cranks and planetary gear hubs. However some modern Klunker twist was also welcome, for example i made it run 29' wheels. I used an old destroyed Electra ladies cruiser frame (hence the name) as a starting point, and...

    Spitfire BMX Strand

    Hello RatRodders! Well, after my initial post seven years ago about how I've been lurking so long I have finally decided to dive in on a build thread. I don't have any huge stash of parts and want this to be a daily rider so will be slowly buying parts as I go. I hope some of you can give me...

    Genuine Bicycle Products Article 2 Klunker build

    Our last A2 in stock, my friend wanted the bike with gears for the hilly terrain in his town. We start with a frame and Red Menace fork installed. There will be some tweaks to make it work as a klunker type bike as it currently has 110mm rear spacing.

    '38 Schwinn Motorbike Klunker - Sealed Bottom Bracket Question

    First post here! Disclaimer - I did try to search first to get an answer to this question. I recently completed a Klunker build and had a local bike shop help me with the bottom bracket purchase and assembly. My issue is I don't think they did it correctly. The bottom bracket was shimmed and...

    Rollin' Scrap....

    I recently acquired an older cantilever frame. No brand, no markings, there may be a serial number stamped in the bottom of the frame....or it may be my imagination. It does have a couple issues, the worst of which is the dropouts, 1 side in particular is a wreck. This is the frame as I got it...
