The name comes from the Stephen King movie of the same name. The deco on the tank makes me think of the AC/DC song "Thunderstruck" and so it is born. The wheels and bars took about 2 hours to come up with right combination to get the look and feel I wanted. The tires are vintage whitewalls 24 x 2.125 Flying O out back, Goodyear Wingfoot 24 x 1.75 out front riding on Sun BFR rims and Ringle hubs.
The frame/tank/guard came from Crassly. The fork was tweaked and I toyed with using a Monark knee action springer, but found a way to straighten out the original one. I am going for lightweight on this one so the Monark springer idea was put away. I have a few other ideas to minimze weight so keep an eye out!
