Wrapped this one up last night and took it on the OG Klunker Krew ride along the American River bike trail and Sac State/East Sac. This bike absolutely MASHES! I can only imagine how it will feel once I get the feel for it 100%.

I was fortunate enough to recently pick up a Humu Deluxe from the original owner. He called it his “old-man” bike. 26” hoops, nexus 3 speed gripshift (yuck), mechanical discs (original pads!?!?), up and forward stem, and pretty tall BMXish bars. It took me all of about 2 days to leave it alone...
Started tear-down and build up of the ‘68 Typhoon yesterday and this evening. This is going to be a fun little build!
Btw-I posted all of the stock parts up for sale. S7’s, cranks, bars, seat..-all of it is up for grabs!
I keep adding to the collection. Fortunately I have a really understanding wife with a vintage handbag passion. We balance each other out. Mid 80’s Schwinn cantilever framed Klunker build, 1968 original paint Schwinn Typhoon…and my pièce de resistance… an original paint 1937 double straight bar...
I actually did it on my Huffman. I’m running an 80’s Raleigh BMX cruiser fork. It’s solid so far and I’ve put a few hundred (trail and off-road) miles on the tank so far. If you zoom in, you can barely see the black anodized shims at the top and bottom of the headtube.
Here’s a link for the...
Sorry- I don’t post on here as much as I used to. I’ve been out riding!!
Thought I would share a few of our (my wife and mine) klunker/ cruiser builds. The 29er I’ve shared here before-it was actually my entry in to a build off a couple years ago.
1930’s Hawthorne 29er coaster brake Klunker...
Thanks so much for the quick feedback. I have a 49cc brain, so I’ll show my wife your replies. Being the cricut person she is, I am sure she will know what y’all are talking about!!
I’m certain this has been asked, and I apologize in advance. I’ve spent the last 40 minutes searching through all the posts and could not find anything. My wife has a circuit, and I’m looking for an svg file for Schwinn DX frame graphics like the ones below. I’m building one up, the paint is to...
I’ve been collecting cool an unique bike stuff for years. I got these some time back for a build…but am starting to let it go, little by little.
Up for grabs is a matched pair of Vintage SA drum brake hubs. Stamped “Made in England” and “5 79”. Great condition, and just the right amount of...
