BFG Klunker Soundgarden edition

Cool build! Where did you get the seatpost? I spent the better part of an hour whittling down a piece of aluminum round stock down to fit my 49 Huffman frame. I absolutely hate straight post saddle clamps though. I'll post some photos when I get the rear brake assembled and the wheel installed. How does the fork handle jumps? I put an early tange mtb fork on mine to better cope with the ridiculousness it will be put through. Also need a chromoly one piece crank. Last thing I want to do is suffer a broken crank!

The seat post is pretty common on ebay.. about $15 shipped. It's a 13/16th post with 7/8th top for the clamp. Made by Wald. As far as the fork.. I'm not jumping anything with this bike. Simply a rail trail kind of thing. I did see a cool NOS Tange chrome fork on ebay at the moment for $150.

I see. So it's just a straight post as well.

Thanks I just have to figure out how to make those brakes work better.

If you're talking about the front brakes, try to find some kool stops in a compatable mounting style or cartridge. I'm sure those NOS brake pads are like dried out cat #&@^ when it comes to grabbing the rim.

Sorry for the Necro bump but....

Who did the sprocket?

Im planning on doing a band themed custom too and would love to have a logo sprocket!

I think it was a guy over on RatRodBikes.com. It was awhile ago so I'm having a hard time remembering...he was out of Minnesota if I remember correctly. 50 cents a tooth to make which I thought was an incredible deal.

Dr Martens Bouncing Sole pedals and a plaid flannel seat cover

Or a flannel pad set! And I think a broken in Brooks saddle would look better.

What would you take for the truss rod setup. I'm missing some part's on my 52 straight bar project. Thank's Big Moe

I sold off those truss rods when I ditched them from my project..
