Fred Klunkstone

[eparsons]

Well I think I've finally found a bike to build in the build off. It's a Firestone supercruiser that I'm making into a klunker. It's going to be a mild build with some fresh paint on the frame and some cool klunker/bmx goodies. Can't decide if I want to call it "the flunker or the klunkstone...

Klunkstone. Flunker means 'to fail'.

Nice start, good luck!

I agree with RM,you don't want it to flunk at the start.

Got the new parts in today. Al's rapid transit bars, sunlite 26 inch bmx forks, cheng shin snake belly tires. The brooks seat, Sr pedals, (cranks and the wheels will get pics tomorrow) are all parts I have.

Still need to get a stem. Fred will have paint this weekend. Going with a Ford blue that comes on the focus.. Maybe a little bit of red to..

Photo tip 101: keep the background simple. Makes it easier to see things.

Although that blanket is cool....figured TX, NM, or AZ even before I looked at your profile pic....

Had some time today so I did a quick mock up. I think Fred is going to be pretty cool when done. Now tear it back down and do some body work and paint..
