    Black Widow, the Newb's Bonker

    Scrapped a set of cranks and sprocket from what I believe was a 1973-ish Huffy cruiser. Pretty much the front lower drivetrain, including pedals, with a 1pc BB kit to recycle what parts I had. Rebuilt the original coaster hub but that's gonna go.....

    Tore it down and prepped to the primer/base coat and thru wet sanding and a few coats was able to get it smooth

    Black Widow, the Newb's Bonker

    Wasn't taken for broadcast at the time but this was what I started with when I got it in Aug. last year. It came as a pile of parts, many little nuts and parts missing, no cranks, chainring or chainguard......speckled with rust and more dings in the paint than a station wagon parked in a compact...

    You are absolutely correct! I have going back and forth on this tho, as I am a driver and only home a limited time during the week so it's building myself up! Lol you are right tho, it never ends! Pics coming! Got to find the device...

    Black Widow, the Newb's Bonker

    The build is: -04/99 Dyno duece 26" rear -Nexus 3spd roller ala kingfish -Omeon drum front ala Smoopy and possibly V brake rear for quick stops - keeping the fenders like a bobber - low rise klunker style bars - Odyssey/Porkchop and my tools...... Wrap it up in a Black Widow themed paint...

    Black Widow, the Newb's Bonker

    OK I am throwing my hat into the ring. Been working on this one for awhile and will use the deadline as an incentive to push a little more. Going to be a mixed up hot rod styled cruiser with a little bit of BMX, a bobber style ride with a bit of klunker, or Bonker if you will. Getting in a bit...

    Being 6'1" or over I like a bigger ride. I picked up a 20"/24" wheelset here that the hoops would still be a 4" offset as well as already have a suitable donor 24" cruiser frame, is that possible with this kit?

    I may. The issue is time for me. As a driver I work away from home 5 days a week so home time cannot be bikes at times. I want to but failure and falling short may be the case.

    It's amazing how projects morph as they go. My main cruiser, a Dyno duece, has evolved from a laid back ape dangling cruiser to a klunker idea to what I now am leaning to a bobber kind of idea. I am new to the comps but was toying with the idea of entering (not sure if its too late) to push...

    Just wanted to start a blog/thread to just document, for even if just myself, what I am currently tinkering on. As I post, I would appreciate your input: compliments, criticisms, or any feedback or prior experiences. I feed on knowledge and love to learn if you want to share. As boring as it...

    Love the seat post clamp idea. See a little PorkChop in there! Sweet sturdy idea.

    I so want one of these......... When, not if, the time comes, I will be in contact. So with the donor of our choosing this can be any size tire contraption? And for the less fire wand inclined, do you sell complete frames? :forum:

    Curious CRASH how this panned out..... Was the axle width on the Nexus the same or did you have to get the frame to fit?
