ORBO Crusty

Back surgery hampered the snow riding but got out a bit today with the brace on for a few final photos.

The local singletrack that I built this to cruise on is currently being destroyed to make a paved bike path extension. Because of the back brace I cheated and used the truck to take this to the former trail head

we cruised a bit. Then hit the local cemetery gravel path.

My favorite snow photo from the build thread.

The starting point and why it was named crusty. See you guys for the summer build!

Good solid machine, well done, and to do this with a sore back, legendary

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Great looking klunk right there, the hat fits perfectly.

Still sad they tore out the last dirt we had to ride here. Might have to change tires and cruise it on the street. It rides fantastic and I really like the paint

The colour, the overall looks, the bars. This thing looks rad! Love it!

 

[twojs.bike]

Love it! Would ride!

 

[OddJob]

Klassic single speed klunk! Dig it!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Looks like a nice sturdy Klunker! Good job!

 

[Endlesschain]

nice clean simple but looks super fun to ride

 

[Pondo]

Nice clean klunk! Looks great, must be fun to blast the trails on too!

I love your build,,,.. but this frame in this stage, (stripped and on the stand) with a clear coat on it, would check a lot of boxes for me!

I normally don’t paint anything because I’m not very good at it but my only fork that fit was bright orange and that wouldn’t work well.

Running into the same problem with my planned summer build. Buying frames with junk forks is catching up to me

Great looking bike. That’s super fun to ride

 

[Bike from the Dead]

Love those classic Huffman frames. You did a great job turning that frame into a clean and simple klunker. Love the blue on it too! Sad to hear they're tearing up the dirt trail you planned to ride it on. Hopefully you'll be able to find another trail to go off-road!

Nicely done!

It’s now hanging out along the wall with the rest of them except my flightliner that I ride most .
