Hello Ratrodbike members!

My name is Rob and i am from Breda, Holland and i love bikes
Just signed up over here after i got the advise on mtbr, where they only could tell me that i had to tighten up my chain. :mrgreen:
After looking trough the fora over here i think i get some more and better reactions over here! 8)
Last few years i ride some custombikes, an Electra Straight 8and a Dyno Roadster M1. When i was younger i had Choppers, BMX bikes and after that some mountainbikes. After seeing the movie/ documentry Klunkerz i decided to start a klunker project. After a while i found a very nice priced Schwinn Heavy Duti, perfect for my project.

Here you have some pics from the Schwinn Klunker....

This is the bike how he was original

Just put on the panaracers, it handles the mud much better now then with the original tires.
Maybe i put on some gear, it;s hard with the single speed going up hills, not that we have that many here in Holland! :roll:

The bike is doing it ok on mountainbike trails, ok not that many comfort with a frame like this but the fun makes it bearable!
Looking forward to your comments, reactions! :thumbsup:

@Markm Thnks
