Hello, here we go. I have a bunch of parts without a real plan, so it will be one disaster at a time. These build offs are great motivation for getting things done. Have fun
Wow, that is a great collection of bits and baubles to build something fun and cool with!

Off topic but……….that Klein!!It is so true, motivation is not what is holding me up. I think it is like writer’s block only in bike terms. Part of the time I want to make look original, the other part of the time I want to chop the fenders, get rid of the chain guard and rack, put a 24 on the back and a 29 on the front. This is where I am at today. I hope everyone is on schedule and having a goodtime.View attachment 265598View attachment 265599View attachment 265600View attachment 265601View attachment 265602View attachment 265603View attachment 265604

Old Murray chain ring looks good! Here's a 39 Murray made Mercury:Thanks for all of your replies. I got started tonite by cleaning the crank and adding a different chain ring. I think it is off of a Road master? The crank cleaned up ok, it is the last dog legg I have and I will need the room for the chain guard.

Beautiful but deadly. Supposedly, the suspension works great if you are into catapults and want to try being a projectile. I am, and do.
I’ve been keeping my eyes open for a cheap one. I just think they’re cool, but I know I won’t ride it much. I like to go fast downhill and my body is too beat up for major OTB events these days.Mantra Comp

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am taking the tires off the Klein for this build. I was going to sell it but is rides nice around town, apparently not so good on the downhill.I found a seat, it is Dutch and weighs 4 pounds. Weight weenies cringe. It has 7 springs.
