THE COMFORT KLUNKER

[Rat Rod]

1953 Schwinn with a Sturmey Archer 7 speed internally geared freewheel hub. Front drum brake for added stopping power and some 70s Yamaha bars which combined with the layback post and Felt sprung saddle makes for one comfortable cruiser.

Same as the saddles they are putting on the Red Wolfe...probably some vinyl material.

So is it a plastic pan with foam and covered with vinyl?

Anybody have a source for those saddles ? Other than buy a new Felt.

Took it out for a short cruise today...in the 30s...against the wind...pure torture to a Texan.

I love a clearly-really-old bike with clearly-modern running gear.
That's classic hot rodding.

I'm not a huge fan of the plastic pan, but the springs alone are worth the price of that saddle. With the way they've mounted those springs I could almost see someone buying that seat,re-mounting those springs on an Ichi banana seat that pivots gently on the sissy bar...

(checks wallet, watches the vacuum pull in stray air particles)

Sigh. Maybe later...

Perhaps an odd request, but I'd love a ride video. Having never tried either, im very skeptically curious about the fit of both a layback seat post & bars that have that grip angle/ location. To me, it seems like an ackward grip. Prove me wrong!!
It is a super cool build. I love the way those bars look. Reminds me of the sidewalk supervilian, one of my favs.
What puts your bike over the top us everything in front of the steerer tube! Loving that front end & wheel
