Alan Bonds was one of the guys making those original klunkers. He's got a website listing the build specs for a bunch of the old bikes.

yup been to that web site lots of grate info on it.

: tracking shows two more days and it's here. Then I can start deciding. if frames good enough to buff / shine what's left of the paint out, or maybe to far gone to save.. so strip and paint it my self or send to C4 labs for sand blast and powder coat it. 🤔 can't wait to see it up close in person 😁







 
I am thinking drum brake up front rear 3 speed coaster. unless there is a 3 speed internal hub with drum brake. old Araya rims. then maybe depending on price factory Schwinn trust fork. or the true torch made
Cook Bros BMX inspired tribute forks.

Suntour XCII pedals. not sure on tires. stem just a old Schwinn type or Sugino or other 70's style BMX stem. brake levers I have there off a old 60's / 70's MX dirt bike.
