    1936 Monark Silver King klunk

    I have been working on this the last week. I had the bike previously assembled in a more traditional configuration but it just wasn’t growing on me. Had this Girvin ready for it and said to my self….hmmmm. Maybe I can get this to fit. I used a Tange MX sealed bearing headset but had to...

    1937 Shelby Muscle Truck “Shelbinator”

    This one was a real pleasure. A true bonding with my inner 12 year old. My neighbors will get a kick out of seeing me zipping around with a parachute hanging out the back . It came out way better than I had anticipated at first. Thanks to @Mr. Monkeyarms and @Karate Chicken Industries for...

    Widowmaker. 1930 Colson Flyer motorbike…..Klunkers.

    Eh, what the heck. Acquired a few frames since starting the shelbinator. Both were motorbike era frames in really rough shape. I got this frame on Saturday. Seller didn’t really give me much on identity of this frame. It was badged as a Lawlor‘s Sporting Goods bike Having done some...

    Yesterdays resurrection. 50s Firestone Cruiser

    I picked this on up from local seller in need of everything. A lot of it was there but poorly attended to. Had Schwinn heavy days wheelset already on it. Trued them up pretty fast. I basically took it down and cleaned it and assembled. It had a lot of questionable stuff on it, made the...

    1945 Elgin KLUNKER finished up this past week.

    This was a fun build. Frame was given to me. OG paint. I added the stripes and lettering then weathered the graphics and polished frame out. I had a tank, but @Mr. Monkeyarms had a better one, so we did a swap. I fit a 1 1/8 fork with Cantis on it. Airbrushed it to match patina. It took so...

    The Shelbinator. 37 Shelby Y Frame Muscle Truck

    The story goes like this. Found this frame that was yanked out of a field and hung on a wall as art for the past 20 years. It looked bad in the ad, but had no how badly it was mangled. It has been bent and twisted pretty badly. I got it for 25 bucks, and only needed the badge that was on...

    Procrastinator 1919 Schwinn Built Deluxe Flyer Klunk

    Now is as good of a time to put the final step up here. Been great watching all of the cool ideas and the individuality come out in the builds. Kudos to everyone! There are no losers, I hope everyone gets to enjoy their creations as much as I will enjoy this,

    GT Avalanche BMX conversion

    Had this frame lying around staring at me for some time. Pieced together from surplus around the shop. The only thing I had to purchase was the Surly Singleator. Pleasantly surprised with the results.

    SOLD Schwinn Cycle Truck 300. sold

    Frame, fork, and guard. fenders sold. Solid shape. Someone cut the forward parcel mount on head tube. Easy fab and fix. Drop outs have been cut so axle slides into place. I’d weld it up if I were keeping it. But have two other cycle trucks. Perfect project for someone with a little...

    Got sidetracked by a king sting

    Taking a break from the build off bike. Found a frame in AZ that needed a little love. Price was right. Blasted and painted. Used old sidewinder fork. Going to be a resto mod to accompany my other Sting.

    Digger…. Yo Mama Ha

    I know it’s practically heresy, ya. First time in class 2 So I grabbed this off eBay for a couple Benjamin’s, shocks looked good, frames has been terribly welded up front. I picked up a long front end over the weekend at a show and swap. Maybe a 24 with disc hub up front. Multi speed...

    Not quite ratrod or bmx.

    I picked up an 89 Haro Dart from a member at the Cabe. Basically, frame, and wheels. Well the frame triangle had been filled. Thought maybe it had been welded in and I would have to spend some time cutting metal panels off. But when it arrived, I pulled it out of box and frame must have...

    I have wanted one of these forever.

    Every time one pops up, the funds are never right until this past weekend. A buddy of mine in Pueblo, had this one in his stash. We got to talking and says…. You know…. From there it is history. Not sure what’s in store for it yet. But pretty stoked.
