I finally am getting around to posting my build thread. A few months ago, I bought a Schwinn Heavy Duti frame from ind-chuckz here on the forum and set out to build myself a klunker. It took a lot of work and time, but I am .... happy with how it turned out. I went for a modern take on the concept mixing heavy duty cruiser and old school bmx parts.
Behold, the KlunkR!
