ORBO Step-Thru Klunker

[Bike from the Dead]

Who’s build thread is this??

Well it's mine, but I've been slow to update it. I actually have a few updates I've been meaning to share on this thread, but I'm not 100% sure how to go about it. Some of what I want to share might be better on one of my other threads, or maybe a new one.

Sounds like we need a Gallery thread of step-thru klunkers.

All good. You can’t derail your own build thread

We do need a dedicated step-thru thread. I'm on it....

Pondo actually shared a bunch of those photos here too! He's found a lot of great inspiration!

Honestly, I don't mind that this thread's been a little "derailed." It just helps remind me that I need to update it!

I’ve been messing around with this for a few months now. I’m too tech deficient and lazy to figure out how to document a build properly. My approach is pretty random, careless and wabi sabi. The frame is a 1950 Schwinn. The rest is a
Frankenstein mixed bag; Colsen crankset, unknown house painted rims with new departure hubs, skip tooth, uranium glass reflectors, cream Big Ben tyres (the front turned brown in the desert sun), a 40’s no horn tank, and 60’s Lepper saddle, etc. I’ve put a lot of miles on it.

Sorry about the derailment. No one got hurt.

No worries. I started a new thread so we can see a bunch of step-thru coolness without cluttering up this thread more than necessary. Check it out here if you like, and please post more pics of your cool Schwinn there too!
