NEXUS 7 & A TREK

[Rat Rod]

Bought the Univega Cruiser off of the CL today so I could rob the wheel set with the
Nexus 7 speed hub with roller brake. Thinking this will be a good set for my next
Klunker project.

Thinking about building up this frame using the wheels above...

On the way back from picking up the cruiser I saw an "Estate Sale" sign and decided to stop
real quick. Ended up scoring this ladies Trek for $25. Chain is rusty, but everything else is in
great shape and it should clean up well.

I've always said the cheapest way to buy a Nexus 7 is to buy it while it's attached to an older, non popular bike. I've scored a couple, this way.

Good find!

What really sold me on it was the fact that it had the roller brake so I can freewheel when riding.

I think that Univega Cruiser would be a great candidate for a ... change..??????? :wink:

It probably would be...if it were stretched too. I rode it a little before I stripped it down and it seemed pretty small.

Unfortunately the welding gene didn't get passed onto me in the family...just to Uncle Stretch. :lol:

Steve..You can do anything if you put your mind to it..!!!! I think your right with the stretching of it..Go out and buy a welder ..haha

Looks like the Trek could contribute some tires for the Klunker as well!

Bad part is with the same time and work it takes to do a ... change , you can build a really cool scratch built frame. :roll:
