I figured I'd simplify my "SHOW US YOUR KLUNKERZ" entry and just put the pics and build info here.

I'm pretty proud of this bike, it looks much better in person (which I'm sure everyone's does) and it rides and handles great for being a junky old bike. I built it bike using the frame I was looking for info on at this post: http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35021&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a While I have been wanting a klunker/bomber for a while, I rushed this one so I could race in Atomic Cycles' Coaster Brake Challenge #5 series.










The specs are as follow:

Frame: Unknown cantilever cruiser w/1"JIS headtube
Rim: IRD TSUNAMI MTN
Hubs: F- ACS high flange, R- Shimano MX Coaster w/16t cog
BB: Redline American BMX sealed cartridge
Cranks: SNAFU BMX 175mm
Chainring: Frisco BMX 34t
Pedals: Odyssey BMX platform
Seatpost: KALLOY 1" 0 setback
Saddle: San Marco Rolls (great saddle from day one)
Bars: Kawasaki MX, 80's vintage
Stem: Used BMX stem from the 80's
Grips: Oury Mtn
Headset: used Campy, 80's vintage
Tires: Kenda Small Block 8
Chain: KMC

Thanks, I wish I were as ready as it is. Most everything on it were items I have had lying around or I purchased used from friends for nominal prices (e.g. the crankset for a 12pk of Widmer Hefeweizen). It's currently my only rideable bike, which is fine with me.
 
cool bike man ;)

How did the race go?

over at Coasties, we pushed Atomic Cycles' Coaster Brake Challenge #5 too.

Paul at Atomic is a crazy guy! If you haven't been out for one of his challenges, check it out!
