In this episode of Bike Builds & Mods I build up a rat / klunker bike starting with a frame I brought home from the recent swap meet..

Cool build. I love the long look of the bike. Great patina.

Yeah I really like the patina too. Thanks Roger.

Another Rad build Randy. That front rim looked like a schwinn hence the stupid tire issue. I still fight this between my schwinn parts stash and my regular stuff. Keep crankin! 🤙

Yeah I swear it's like every builds is my first time lol. I never retain what I learn from all my trial and error. Thanks Eric.

Excellent. I’m going to put the bearing cup catcher coat hanger in my back pocket for later. Thanks pal!

Yeah just started doing that fairly recently after years of chasing cups all around the garage floor lol.

Klunkin ain't easy... but it sure is fun, nice job Randy. Also thanks for your hard work filming & editing, we appreciate it.

More to come on this bike. Spoiler alert: It wasn't quite right. As always thanks Gloria.

I'd almost guess that frame is pre-1938(prior to cantilever) being a diamond frame. Nice project.

All that it needs is a brooks saddle and it'll be just right...i've been riding brooks since 1978 and just can't do anything else.😉

I do have a few B66s sitting on the shelf but they weren't right for this build. I do have a B17 and a B72 on other bikes. Oh I also had a spare C17 I could have used on here I guess. I probably ought to get another B17 or 72. I think they started making the B72 again. Thanks for watching.

Great vid old fruit but I was feeling your pain, those man sniffles can really take it out of a guy, to say nothing of messing with your head. Good work soldiering on despite adversity. We like da bike 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@johndunbar2393 3 ай бұрын

We don't ride anywhere near the same style of bikes, but it always amazes me what you do with what all you have. Makes me think sometimes, maybe I've spent too much on my bikes. Lol Another great video, Randy! I hope it rides as well as it looks! As always, take care you two and have a great week!

@Locojoe 3 ай бұрын

I'm really glad you find these builds interesting despite not being what you would ride. I like to think I don't spend much on bikes but if I were to really tally up the costs I could probably own a fleet of nice bikes. It's really for the enjoyment of thinkering with them though and that's worth something. Thanks John.

Love the tires, Joe!

The ones I ended up going with are Geax Booze. I really like those red/cream tires though and need to find a build to use them on. Thanks for watching.

Your videos/builds are contagious. Should not have watched this video as it has me itching for another build, but wait I have not even completed my first.

lol no where is it written you have to finish one before starting another. Thanks for watching.

As usual, metric is king. The wheel was labeled correct. There are at least five different 26" diameters. 26" - 559 mm 26" - 571 mm (650C) 26" - 584 mm (650B) 26" - 590 mm (650A) 26" - 597 mm.

This seems parallel to what ive been fighting trying to get a 7 speed mountain bike rear wheel to my kent cruiser klunker. Ive got to look for a new chain. Chain/sprocket binding on cassette locking up the rear wheel. Maybe get more time today to study it better.

@Locojoe 18 күн бұрын

For me it's all trial and error. I'm not real good at knowing what works with what. I just keep trying stuff till something works. Good luck with your build.

@josephpacheco7508 17 күн бұрын

@Locojoe amen to that one. I find that kind of the fun part about it building from spare parts to complete a project is always so satisfying.

@ColbyRidesBikes 3 ай бұрын

If you had a 650b tire sitting around you could have done a tire mullet setup with 650b in the front.

@Locojoe 3 ай бұрын

You know I thought about that. I may get a tire for that rim just to play around with and see what frames and forks it would fit. Maybe convert a 26 to 650b. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Nice build , love the patina . Those red tires would have set it right for me . Do you sell your builds or just build them and then disassemble then again after sime time

@Locojoe 2 ай бұрын

Thanks. Yeah I really like those red tires but just didn't feel they were right for the klunker direction I was going with the bike. Some day I'll build a bike around them. No I don't sell them. Just like you said I ride for a while, disassemble for a while and then rebuild generally in a different configuration. Thanks for watching.
