Show Off Your Finished Huffy Cranbrook's and Nel Lusso

[Captain Awesome]

Thanks for the quick replies. I think I will steer clear. I'm looking to build a klunker for single track use, minor curb hopping, jumping, and neighborhood shenanigans. I will keep an eye out for an old steel schwinn or the like.

Is there a thread on here that talks about different frames and forks that are good for klunkers?

Heavy Duti, Worksman, Husky,........


Just get a Worksman from @ind-chuckz and don't look back. Rugged, dependable, stylish

Cheers Matti! This Klunker thing is all new to me. I've always had an affinity for old bikes, especially bmx. Klunkers have become my new favourite. I've got some reading to do!

Charlie and Alan's sites are the real deal, the bikes they show are the ones that all the klunking copies are based on. They were there making it happen. I've been trail biking since I was a teen, it saved my sanity many times, and I literally can trace that directly to what those hippie daredevils were doing out west.

A customer at our local coop. All ready for Halloween next week.

Several skulls, many lights that don't show in daylight. Springer chopper fork.

I was wandering around Wallyworld and they had one of these Huffy bikes on display.
Its got some wide rims, like maybe close to 2'' and some killer tires. 26x 2.35. I was going
to ask them if they ever had any messed up ones that they sell cheap , but the manager
wasn't there today. I know the bikes are probably junk because several of the people said
the rack broke and they had problems, but I would sure like to have a set of those rims and tires.

Hey so I figured you might be interested in my huffy Nel lusso build.
