Nothing special, which is PERFECT for me! A couple of serviceable 26" cruisers and a spare 26" coaster brake wheel for $80. Will probably part out the cruisers for the GT build and the vintage ladies Schwinn I'm putting together for the old lady.

fix it

I loves me some garbage bikes. That there is a peach! congrats!

The correct bike tools are a must, IMHO. Otherwise, you risk mangling parts...and knuckles! These are what I use and have found to be especially serviceable: Park Tool HCW-11 Slotted Bottom Bracket Adjusting Cup Wrench Tool 16 mm Park Tool (109917) HCW-5 Lock Spanner PARK TOOL (109916) HCW-4...

I've never heard of it, and I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that. It is WAY cool.

BMX stem and bars installed! Huge improvement! Rides great. New grips coming. Not much left to do. Clean and repack wheel bearings, some paint treatments, switch out chainring to a single cog 44 tooth, and new cranks.

New city cruiser riser bars installed. Shoulda probably gone BMX bars, but I can live with it for now. Rides much better. Not much left to do. New grips coming. Some paint treatments, and repack wheel bearings...and she should be go to go.

Layback seatpost arrived today. Installed it with a Huffy cruiser seat. Very comfortable and fits me much better, but it looks redonkulous with the fixie bars. Will remedy the situation shortly with some appropriate riser bars of some sort...

I think I'm gonna go with a BMX stem/handlebar type setup I have on order. I also have a set of 28" wide, and 5" rise city cruiser bars on order. I'll have to see what I like better for this rig.

Some mind-blowing upgrades for Pepe! BMX bars from my son's trashed bike! And a tool pouch! Stupendous! Mood lighting for those special moments! Amazing! Real-world, hand-crafted, one-off drink holder mod! Super spectacular and fabulous!

The 26" Magna Great Divide MTB BSO has an interesting frame design. Very heavy and tank-like, with beefy tires. The cheap suspension fork has to go, as do the sleazy decals, reflectors, hand brakes, and gears. The 26" girls Huffy Panama Jack cruiser is pink. I'm not a fan of pink because I...

That's a cool rig. I need to find me a local group of cool klunker/cruiser folks who enjoy beering it up a little and cruising around. I think it would be fun and I could show off my various big box Chinesium garbage rod builds. I have a pile of Walmart MTB scrap rigs I have plans for...
