Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to look here. I'm about to take on my first build and thought I'd post here to make your acquaintance before asking for too much advice. I lived 90% of my childhood on a bike and have really been enjoying riding again recently. I came across the frame below at the swapmeet on Sunday and I think it'll make a good subject for my first Klunker style build (that is unless you suggest otherwise).

I'd love to know what you think it is and where I might turn for design and build ideas. I'm not looking to spend a fortune and have recently come across lots of old school mountain bike parts (including alate 80s Deore XT groupo) that I might try to use here. I'm also considering and Xtracycle build to allow me to cart my boy around town.
Anyway - I appreciate your time and look forward to sharing my progress. Please do chime in if you have any thoughts!
Drew
