Just be careful!!

If I do Yeti blue, I would probably get some Yeti decals for it and a Yeti head badge. Here is my 575:

They seem too. I've done it a few times and plan to do it on the frame I am getting from Ind-chuckz next week.

Widening a rear triangle on a steel bike is pretty easy. DO you have a floor jack? You can lay the frame on its side, but one of the dropouts under the jack, then jack the other one up until you have the spacing you want. Just be really careful because the frame will want to jump off the...

Since my first BO entry if done, and I have a frame on the way, time for a second entry. I've always wanted a legit OG Klunker, and that was the inspiration behind this, even though its not vintage. Im starting with this Heavy Duti frame from Ind-chuckz, it should ship today I assume. I...

LOL.... Ok, Ill pass....

Is this really a vintage seat? http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bop/5417557680.html

Wow thats a great looking bike! That side shot is fantastic!

I think so too! And Im a buit glad that I didn't end up with a vintage frame, now I have more freedom mentally on the build.

Thanks for your help guys! Im going with Chucks frame! Cant wait for it to get here!

Thanks for the reply James. 2.5 isn't big enough though. I'm looking at a heavy duty frame now...

I just went and measured the tires I want to use. Mounted on a 13/16 internal width rim, the tires are 2-3/4 wide at the widest spot. But I wouldn't mind running some wide vintage rims, so I could see a real width of 3 to 3-1/4. I'm starting to think that what I am looking for exactly, may...

Thanks Falstaff, Does anyone know if the head tube on a CWC is the same size as a worksman? Where you can mix and match a headset together to fit a 1-1/8 fork.... And what price range am I looking at reasonably for a frame? ~$100?

And I don't mind doing some frame massaging, but if it has Patina, I want to preserve it....

I am in SoCal. Does anyone know if the head tube on a CWC is the same size as a worksman? Where you can mix and match a headset together to fit a 1-1/8 fork....

I want to build a Klunker next. I defiantly want something with a straight bar look, and not too new. A neighbor has a 70s workman frame that he will sell me for $90. Its the one with the double kink down tube. I really like the kink in the top tube, and the fact that you can use a 1-1/8...

It was a bit rainy today, but I promised my boy that we could go for a short ride, so we rode to one of the local parks. Me on my fat bike, him on his. He loved it! Got to ride across the playground sand, across the wood chips, and several loops around the park. It was great! Here is...

Ah! That's a good idea!

Man that looks awesome! How did you do your bends?
