    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Went out picking in the boneyard behind the barn and I found this pair of Suzuki dirtbike handlebars out of the 70s, I'm gonna clean them up and use them

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    On Friday I got to see that trek 830 for the first time, and the thing is almost like brand new!!! I did not expect something this nice to be selling for 75$. So, I'm going to keep it and part out my other 830 for this project. Here are some more pictures of the new score I'm really glad I...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Both wheels are as good as I can get them. I'm picking up that 830 on Friday, and if the wheels are straighter on the 830 I might use them instead. Today I was digging around my parts pile, and I found this neat sugino crank arm. It's got 24t, 34t and 42t cogs. I also put my 7 speed...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    I just got the shogun up in the stand now, and the wheels came off with a little persuasion from a can of liquid wrench and a ratchet. I'm going to just put a different pair back on it and a new chain and flip it. I fiddled around with truing the wheels, and I need to adjust the rear with a...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Well here's an update, and from this point; there is no easy way to go back. Sorry everything looks kind of wacky, they're cell phone pictures. The only thing that's actually crooked is the derailleur cable braze on. I got the derailleur cable braze on thingy welded on as well And the brake...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Today is going good so far! I got the frame cold set to the new rear wheel, and as I was doing that, my friend Carly called and said her family had six old bikes they didn't want. I told her to drag them over, and most were the typical Wal-Mart rejects. Except this one It's a 90s Shotgun trail...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Awhile ago I seen an eBay listing for six water slide schwinn Dx frame darts, buy it now 6$. I had my mom buy them for me, and when they showed up one was missing. The seller was very reasonable, and sent me six more for free! Bicyclebones on eBay, you get a shootout. That guy's awesome, I...

    Atom Hub

    Folks who build klunkers are probably drooling over these pictures. An atom drum brake hub is arguably the holy grail of klunker hubs. You've got a cherry there!

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Started building the derailleur hanger for the check today. I found a schwinn traveler road bike in the junk yard, and I robbed parts off it. I bored a hole into a strap of steel and tapped it for the derailleur bolt. Fits good! Then I took the torch after the poor old schwinn traveler, and...

    BACK IN BLACK (klunker build RRBBO#9) *NAME CHANGE*

    Got the frame and bars back from sandblasting! Now I've got to weld on a derailleur hanger, and re-blast the frame. Anyone know the TPI of a derailleur bolt?

    Sealed the deal on this sweet trek 830 mtn bike for 75$, it's identical to my dad's trek 820 (which I ride more than him) and I'm going to use the 830 for parts for the check. Dad's 820 has araya 26x1.75 rims with quick release hubs, and I'm crossing my fingers that the craigslist score 830 is...
