this buildoff needs a klunker/bomber!

 

[druggedonions]

All this needs is a seat and you're done!

Seriously, looks like a great starting point. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Cheers Jonnie

A bomber would be a klunker style bike with no gears and just a coaster brake. For bombing down a mountain or hill or to the bar :lol:

They are gold Araya rims, they are for sale too, Bendix rear, unknown front, heavy duty spokes...offers?

 

[Larmo63]

Broke down the bike after work last night. I have some insane parts coming and some rare stuff too......

Sweet, another 52 straightbar in the build off! Mine is the "tumbleweed" build. Haven't updated in a long while but i'm back from vacation and just started cracking it to it again. I'll be checking up on your progress for sure.

pm sent on them aryas

 

[Larmo63]

I'm thinking all vintage Schwinn rare parts with a Roadster feel......?? It's just a pile of parts for now until I get some inspiration on colors...

 

[Larmo63]

This is where I'm at with this build....Who likes the light? Painted of course,....?

 

[KOTA]

Light looks perfect (except the color). :wink:

 

[LowpowerD]

Dang, man I want that fork, perfect for a boardtracker or klunker/bomber. And the frame is awesome too. Can't wait to see what you do to it.

 

[Larmo63]

Yeah that is the fork I have been wanting for a while, I picked it up yesterday but I want the OG strut system. Some guy makes them in stainless so that is what I'm getting..... Pretty much a collection of special parts for this machine

 

[Larmo63]

This frame is powdercoated and I'm going to sand and prime the bugger up to accept regular enamel. Wheelset choices are: vintage S2's or drop centers, I'm runiing cream tires so..... red rims? Black rims? Cream rims? Which rims? Hmmmmm......Colors will be crucial to the look I'm wanting....
