Crusty Klunker budget build

[Davo1970]

Scored a crusty rusty Jamis Earth Cruiser frame, fork and stem from a friend and slapped some parts I had laying around and here ya go! This is a fun low budget cruiser that gets down. This is real rust and I love it. Hope you dig it!

I really like this one!

When I was messing with technical free-ridey mountain biking those Kenda Nevegals tires ( Stickee version front and rear set up ghetto tubeless ) were my tire of choice. Whenever I see them on a bike now, they always project a distinct aggressive look to me.

I really like the 2.50's you put on there. All you need to do now is ride it and get your wheels to match your crusty rusty frame.. Nice Job, I dig your rig.!

Thanks...i ride it but by the time everything else rusted I'd be dead

 

[Speed King]

Really dig it.

Change up..put Kona bars with Oakley 3's and Comp 3 tires. Rides much better.

Cool bars.

I've considered dropping down from the 2.4 Rock Hawks on my build off klunker/cruiser bike because the bike is kinda heavy. But I sure do like the way they handle roots and rocks and curbs and potholes. And love the way they look.

Plus I feel like I could go over ANYTHING with them on there.

The 2.25's might've been a better all-around choice. Giving a little better clearance and acceleration. But I don't mind that I have to stand up now and then to get that big ole sucker rollin quick.

That's a really cool bike. My bike would go almost anywhere with the 2.50 tires on it. They were huge and gave it a unique look . But I do a little bit of street riding also and the big tires slowed me down. When I hit the trails I'll do a tire change. Take it ez!

I love the look of your bike too. And I can certainly understand wanting a lighter, faster, more maneuverable bike for the street.
My bike is a little slow. But I need the extra excercise. And I've been out of the bike game for a while. The big tires force me to ride harder.

That one would be a keeper in my bike stable.
