Right fond of this build.😊

@jonnyreynolds5390 6 месяцев назад

Nice build ! I would be using anti seize, or copper grease on those bb threads and quil stem. Bearing grease will dry out if its not kept moving and if left to long will actually make Removal more difficult in the future

Looks hella fun. Loving the videos and looking forward to more in the new year. Keep it crusty

Watching this at 12:45am on the 25th. Have a good Xmas folks.

I like the bike and a big fan of swept back handlebars. So much more comfortable.

I saw that you were struggling with corrded parts on that hard rock a 50/50 by volume mix of ATF to acetone is an excellent rust buster

Hell yeah Craig 🙌 welcome to the joy of klunkin 🥳 roast some tyres 🔥 this reminds me of my yellow and black Tarini, huge frame retro mtb klunker! 👌

@2NDLIFEBIKES 7 месяцев назад

Cheers mate!! Yeah proper weird frame but suits klunker!! Gunna put a slightly longer stem on it and take it for a proper rip!!

@@2NDLIFEBIKESsweet sounds good, looking forward to it 😁 I’ve had one of those chains too, the anti rust ones. I think it’s painted with something? Used one for a while and it worked well, just looked weird 😅 Watching this on Christmas Day before all the cooking etc, have a good one mate! P.s yes definitely get a Squid some day 👀🫶😆 thanks for the shoutout homie 🫡

Christmas Day, and ignoring my family. Cheers.

@yardsalecycles 7 месяцев назад

The bike looks sick, but if you're not feeling the bars, you should swap them out for something that fits you better

@dangeraardvark 7 месяцев назад

I thought klunkers were made with old cruiser bike frames?

@sempi8159 7 месяцев назад

Whatever cheap shitty bike you have...

@ryanmitchell9013 7 месяцев назад

Cruiser and straight bar frames were the most heavy duty and easily accessible frames at the time, therefore the most common. Guys used anything that would accommodate fat, knobby tires to soften the ride and wide bars to ease steering.

@2NDLIFEBIKES 7 месяцев назад

Couldn’t say it better myself!

@@2NDLIFEBIKES cool cool... now go build a real klunker 🤙

@Bybamatx 6 месяцев назад

Good build. I'm along the lines of your thinking. Ive always considered a klunker a heavy framed bike biuld. My current is a Western Flyer Quasar, the one I just gave away was a Huffy Cranbook. I have a 1987 Huffy Mt. Storm that is about to be a rat-dragster.

@stephencrowfoot244 4 месяца назад

I would not grease up the square tapers on the BB unit, will draw up the crank too far and be difficult to extract, believe me, ASK ME HOW I KNOW. Years of getting my hands dirty as a bike mech. :)

@moodycxnt 7 месяцев назад

I'm a big fan of the handlebars. At a total loss where to find them without either gambling on some cheap crap or spending $300!

@andremuller7723 7 месяцев назад

Great build. Did you buy the rear wheel new? Which one is it? Thanks 🎉

@jarifauti4586 7 месяцев назад

Happy Holydays :)

@fatrobdouble 7 месяцев назад

Get yourself a deep-dish cog to move that rear chainline out a bit. What is the model name/number of those Tektro cantilever brakes you took off? I need those in my life.
