SHOW US YOUR KLUNKERZ

[LukeTheJoker]

Are referring to the wheelset on my klunker?
If so they are Copper 3G hoops in 26". They are actually almost 2.5" in width.

Looks awesome!

Luke.

Correct, i turned it into a 29er , I bought the fork on ebay it was a 700c but wouldn't accept any tire over 40c so i had a Pro frame builder extend the fork for me .

Coolness, I was planning to do the same thing with a Worksman after recently realizing a 29er wheel would fit... what size and model are those Kenda's. Also, did you end up spreading the rear drop out to accept a 135mm axle/hub?

That's cool. FWIW, the stock unicrown fork that came o all the recent INBs will take a 29" wheel/tire....but it's really a pretty ugly fork. Yours looks awesome

The wheel set are of my SE Racing Quad 29er so no I didn't have to spread frame

what will you do for brakes?

 

[Bicycle808]

And, what happened to your Quad29? I always wanted one of those....

 

[MADDAWG]

Canti or v-brakes . Quad is on back burner for now , I've got Bullseye hubs waiting to get laced to Ryno Lites and still trying to see if I'm going to go with Redlines or Profiles . Not too worried about it for now since my Big Ripper is ready anytime to hit the road

that 29er worksman is really cool. i have found the only thing uglier than the unicrown fork, is the drum brake unicrown fork. after having a few of those, i can deal with the standard unicrown fork.

Man, you all have some great bikes!

I picked up this mystery cruiser a couple days ago in a trade. So far I've put some cheap knobby tires on it and it has a Brooks for the time being. The Brooks doesn't fit the look I'm going for though, so I'm going to get something rattier.

I am really digging all the double-clamp gooseneck stems some of you all have, but I'm having a hard time finding one. I'll probably start swapping out the cruiser bar for a bmx riser and I need some new pedals. I'll get some pics in the light later.

Here are some

I've had over the years.

Someone mentioned making a Klunker out of an old Varsity. That yellow 71 Varsity with the yellow band 2 speed S-7 did great in the woods. Guys on mountain bikes were amazed as I went over logs, stumps, and large roots on a hilly wooded path (switchback) at Hannah Park in Jacksonville. My feet never touched the ground the whole way. I surprised myself too.

Is that from Ichi Bike?
Looks like their type of build.
