Put this one together over the weekend, with a 1940's skiptooth frame and a bunch of "BMX" parts I had laying around

i like those cranks! 180's? :)
 
I like the bmx look tuga.
I put this together last spring, not really a Klunker or a bomber for that matter, a little of both and none of each I suppose. A more modern early bmx frame and late 70's components. seat post, clamp and grips are modern repros, tires are Kenda K-80s. Tank and plate were done by IMGX Graphix. I've done a couple of 20+ mile rides on this bike since I built it and it rides great.

1978 Laguna 26" bmx frame and fork.
"Cherry Bomber", Built for Cherry Hill BMX in Coeur d'Alene Idaho.

Those were awesome frames...glad to see you're still rockin' the old school checkered Vans shoes 8)
 
These pictures were taken back in 1995. My friend and I built up 2 old Schwinn frames with "modern" components, like the Girvin flexstem and bullseye cranks.

We called them the "Retro Rockets" They were great bikes to ride, especially when other "serious" mountain bikers saw what they were. 8)
 
Just threw this one together today, built from a trash picked huffy. :D

According to the post on my Spaceliner in kngtmat find post, here is mine that someone made maybe in the 80's or early 90's that I might want to bring back original some day though, I haven't rode it yet because of the tires have dry rot and will need a bit less wide tires since the ones on it are rubbing on the frame, Nitto bars, Shimano Eagle rear, Shimano Tourney brakes and Shimano Thunderbird front.

Sweet bike! Where did you buy those tires?


Just the local bike shop. They're available all over the internet though.


Just tried getting those at my local bike shop and they had them in stock......for $60 a piece :shock: .....Looks like I'm gonna have to go online to Niagara Cycle and get them for $24 each. How do they expect me to keep my business local with prices like that?
 
found this on CL for $20, spent another $15 for grips/bmx stem/one rattlecan, used other leftover bmx parts from old DB
