So….. here we go!
I’m looking to build a klunker out of an old straight bar frame.
The build is a little outside my usual as I build a lot of skinny tire bikes.
Also, I’ll be ditching my traditional patina salvage and putting some sharp red, white and blue paint on this guy.
As I built my ‘gray ghost’ which was basically a klunker, it was a ‘younger’ frame than this one and at first glance, an easier build.
-I’m open to input and ideas on the build.
I’d like to have gears, front and rear brakes and maybe a little bit of comfort!
I DO want to keep the original fork.
