Unknown retro bike unknown year - Bullmoose bars, Klunker build

[Imlach]

I really like that SJS website, so much so that it made me consider migrating to Britain just so I could order from it without having to pay import fees and be molested by the posties.

I am sure SJS will have them, if not your LBS...

I‘ll try my LBS tomorrow morning. Along with a 5-speed chain

I could send you a 'food' parcel every now and then...

Careful I don't eat it out of desperation.....

If there's bits and bobs I need I'll let you know and compensate rightly, just make it my birthday.. again...

Anyhow enough hijacking this thread (a habit I try to unlearn)

It's a very nice bike. I have been looking for a frame that's got the classic 80's geo with American BB for an eternity as I LOVE one piece cranks, but no luck.

Looking forward to seeing this pictured in some woodland, with me hiding behind one of the trees... waiting...

I hope I can post some pics of the finished bike tomorrow.

I love this. Super cool. Super retro. Amazing job on the restoration.

Blue grips make it pop.

Top job.

Personally I prefer to use the word Junker rather than Klunker, if it isn't actually a klunker.
No offence intended, that's what I call mine.

Yeah, I'm with the gang here. It's not a Klunker just by being an old MTB/ATB.

A bullmoose does not a Klunker make!

In fact, I'm not sure this bike, as lovely as the clean-up and restoration is, has any real similarities to a Klunker whatsoever.

But good work saving it!

Whatever you want to call it.

How's it ride?
