I know, not exactly a mountain bike, but the dream is to make it so as a clunker.
And not exactly the original frame choice for me, but when the world offers up a tiger, you must wrestle with it.
Scroll through to the Cleveland, 3rd go is a charm
Have her most of the way stripped. Really hated to do this as she was all there and original. Thinking of going for a Rat Rod Klunker bike more and more now. :mrgreen:
Here's where she stands at the moment. Definitely not much to write home about.
Hoping a 1 1/8 headset will fit. Just playing around with some odd bits for a quick mock.
Tomorrow I begin widening her rear . Will be ordering braze on cable stops and
a roll of silver solder for the job. I can tell she will be slow to come about.
At the moment the build plan is to use whatever parts are lying around as most likely that's what would have been bitd and imagine any upgrades as they may have been needed. Not necessarily a period build,
but who knows.
Mostly I want to get it together and thrash her about a bit.
