So here's a Klunker I'm putting together...

Started out as a standard Huffy Cranbrook...Selling at Wally World for $74 right now on sale. I picked mine up for $84.

Striped it down to get me thinking...

I've orderered all the parts and I'll start posting as I go...More pics later today...as the seat and tires are here

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Here's the new tires 26x2.125 ($25 Delivered) and the new seat ($52 Delivered)...

I'm pretty stoked so far on how it's coming along
I hope I don't ruin it in my minds eye..

It's not done yet :lol: I may make a wrong move @ any minute... :lol:
I wanted so bad to ride this bad boy today...

Incase you were curious...

Price Break Down on what's coming...
Stem: $10.95 delivered
Bars: $19.99 delivered
Grips: $9.70 delivered
Pedals: $21.89 delivered

Couple that with the bike @ 84.00 + Seat @ $52.00 + Tires @ $25.00 = $161.00
$161.00 + $62.53 (patrts on the way) = $223.53 Total build cost thus far...
Once I actually get those parts on this thing!!!!

Yeah I'm a budget builder if you haven't seen any of my other builds.
Had to drop out of last years build off due to $ it would have taken to finish that dream.
This year most of the bike parts for the build off have been found in my garage I'll redirect focus on that after this build

Pretty much an easy bolt on solution to priceless fun! No fabs just an easy going build to take my mind off things

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

I received the stem and grips today! Mounted the stem and now I am back to waiting for the mail... :lol:

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Just waiting for the Bars!
Then I'll take it out for a good ride and some photos...

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

Just got the bars and mounted them on the bike
I'm going on the maiden voyage and taken pics...
I'll post once I'm back.
Just sitting on this thing rocks!
It feels so nice and has a great fit...comfortable

 

[FOUND OBJECTS]

YES! THIS BIKE RIDES LIKE A BIG BMX!
It seems fast to me too! A true workworse.
I'm ready to build another one :lol:
OKay not yet...back to my RRBO5 Bike. 8)
