Typhoon klunker build

[ingola]

Always liked the look of those klunkers,BMX cruisers, strandies whatever you call them. I say bikes. This has to come apart today.stripped tomorrow, painted this week. I live in Canada and running out of paint time.(something I've never done to a bike before)then I have to go get this down

from this scary shed.

What's scary is that you keep bikes in there. That frame is awesome, love the double tubes, so unusual

 

[ingola]

There not my bikes. But have been hanging there since the thing collapsed so I'm taking that straight fork.

Minelli doesn't look too bad either. Those cam brakes are scary, but cool mechanical operation. Another of those brands that were trying to sound not Canadian. How did I not see that one?

That was Rick's first real bike he says he loves it but is letting it rot I told him pick up your junk and I'll restore it

I've always thought those Typhoon frame were cool with the sweeping midtubes.

Bikes apart and almost stripped have a tight time line.

I could kill for that frame. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Sweet! I'd like to find a '62 Typhoon frame to build something on, it's a year of birth bike for me.

 

[ingola]

I was surprised to find one here in Canada

 

[OddJob]

That's gonna make a great klunker!

RaT oN~!

Frame is ready to prime. Frost warning tonight running out of time.

 

[ingola]

Double bars taped up waiting for temperature to warm up to prime

Keeping the twins bare metal? That should look cool, highlight what's what on the frame

That's effect I'm going for would normally polish up first then paint but we're in the high teens all week so need to get that paint on.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

There was frost this morning.

 

[ingola]

I didn't prime it this morning. Brought the frame inside. Wife rolled eyes, kid moved her chair they know the winter routine

 

[CRASH]

I love the difference in environments we all face. You're struggling against the cold and frost. Me, I can't work in my garage sometimes because it's over 100 degrees (Fahrenheit. I think that's 2 degrees canuck)

 

[ingola]

Set up on my make shift paint stand old swing left in the yard(and my wife told me to toss it)

Primer on some runs but that's what wet sand is for.
