Look Ma, No Hands!
Well, I have been a long time lurker. So, I have decided to join. This will be my first post. So, I will tell a little something about myself.
I raced BMX in 76-78. In 1981 I put together a KOS Cruiser. When I was riding on base. A guy stops me and asked if the bike I had was a mountain bike? It was a BMX Cruiser. So, fast forward to 2011. My kids are moving on now. So decide to build a couple bikes. It turned out nice. So I put it in a bike show. Just for fun. The judges said, we don't have a category for it. Its not a vintage, and the closest category is, is a Clunker. It was fun. So, I got into looking into this thing called Clunker/Klunker. I began my quest. On and off for the last two years, I started looking for that hard to find Union rear hub. I bought one, then then lost interest in the build and sold it. Almost a year later. I come across the guy I sold it to. I asked him what he did with it. He painted the face plate a purple color. But, he wasn't using it. I bought it back. And this started my obsession. Alan Bonds has a very good website. And I started the search for the rest of the parts. I have not completed my build. But, I can see the end is near. I have not seen anyone build a BF Goodrich. And I do like the darts. Now, I have to figure out how to place some pictures. To support this post.
