Where did you get that seat post?

It's an old white 80s Odyssey BMX post that I wrapped black tape around. :lol:

Re: KLUNK-ROD (NEW WHEELS & TIRES)

My LBS hooked me up with a sweet set of black aluminum coaster wheels (24" rear and 26" front) and they had a Fatti-O that was collecting dust.

Normally I wouldn't have done this, but let's just say they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Needless to say this is gonna change the way the bike is going to look. Will post mock up photos tomorrow.

Re: KLUNK-ROD (NEW WHEELS & TIRES)

look good but how do they fit ?

Re: KLUNK-ROD (NEW WHEELS & TIRES)

It fits with about a 1/4 inch of space on either side of the chain stays and the seat stays...whew.

Took a bit of fine tuning to get a perfect alignment on the top and bottom, but they fit!

Here she is with the new wheel and tire set installed.

I have decided to try it out with the ape hangers and plan to come up with another seat post and seat idea.

I'm also going to replace the headbadge with a black version with white letters.

Re: TUXEDO (NAME CHANGE)

Thought it was only right to change the name since I finally settled on a look for this bike.

Just a few pieces left and she'll be done.
