Sorry- I don’t post on here as much as I used to. I’ve been out riding!!
Thought I would share a few of our (my wife and mine) klunker/ cruiser builds. The 29er I’ve shared here before-it was actually my entry in to a build off a couple years ago.
1930’s Hawthorne 29er coaster brake Klunker with a Monarch single-spring fork and custom bent bars.
Next up is my 1946 Dayton-Huffman. This thing is a workhorse. I’ve put a few hundred miles on this one since I finished at the end of September. Rear triangle has been widened and gusseted to fit the fat tires- and all the joints were re-brazed for strength. The build list is long and for the most part, vintage. Just a fantastic bike to ride. Oh yeah- it won “Best Fab” at the Cruiser Classic!
This is my 2012 Felt Rail. She’s the fancy one of the bunch that was a marketplace grab. Started off pretty beat up and GREEN.
The newest addition to the fleet is one I picked up for my wife a couple weeks ago. State Bicycle Co Klunker. I got it home, dusted it off and put a nice set of scrambler bars on it…for now
