Schwinn klunker build

[Euphman06]

I'll be adding pictures soon enough. Here's the parts list I'm using.

1946 BFG DX frame
Specialized bullmoose bars (ok those aren't period correct, but I think they look ......)
Araya 26x1.50 aluminum rims
Bendix 2 speed manual rear with coaster hub
Worksman front drum brake
Custom Soundgarden sprocket from the man BarnBikes.

This will be my second build and definitely my favorite so far. Thanks for looking!

What else?!? Crank? Tires? Fork?

 

[Euphman06]

I'm using the AS stamped crank (can't beat American steel when you need toughness) that was with the bike
I'm also using the original fork because I like the way it looks with the truss rods.

and the sprocket will look like my little avatar. That's album cover art from Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger album.

Sounds like a cool build. Are painting the frame/forks or keeping the og paint?

OG paint all the way. It's in real nice shape.

As for tires... I'm thinking of going with Kenda pathfinders. Kind of a moutain hybrid with a bead down the center for road riding since I'm only ever on trails/roads when I ride and don't really want the full knobbies. They have a nice 65psi inflation as well which should help rolling resistance.

Sounds fun!

Got my custom BarnBikes sprocket today and finally got a picture. My tires should be here tomorrow and my rear rim back from the shop sometime this week. Eventually that front rim will be fitted with a worksman drum brake.
