CD KLUNKERZ : Build Series #01 - Rusty Schwinn Klunker Build

[@siriosstar4789]

Very cool ! i bought one of those around 1959 and kept it until about 1980 . it was my all time favorite bike . indestructible and fantastic off road . in 1985 i bought a schwinn Cimmaron MTB . no suspension , cro mo frame , crappy rim brakes , but insanely fun as a downhill bike . lots of crashes and no damage to the bike . i now have a 4700€ e MTB from Austria and it's not nearly as fun as my older bikes .

[@seancbrophy]

That’s one rad build! Love the way the frame looks.

[@erikvonbold]

Awesome!! I’m sure it’s already been asked, what brand chain is that? Love the look of it!

[@crazydontklunkerz]

@@erikvonbold it's a shimano olive chain

[@zaldumbide13]

What bottom bracket and crank set up did you use, your build came out awesome, just got into rebuilding bicycles and I want to make myself a klunker cruiser. Built a nice single speed track bike, and I'm rebuilding a GT mountain bike, it's coming out nice and almost completed. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Take care and keep your wheels on the road.

[@originalchristianvogt]

The crankarms are each on the wrong side, you can See that in the pedalshape

[@crazydontklunkerz]

you cant go wrong on the crank arms, because the right side arms have screw for the chainring, so you will know its the right side. :)

[@originalchristianvogt]

@@crazydontklunkerz in BMX there are standard right-side and some left-side oriented drivetrains, you got a crankset for left-side and installed it flipped.

[@crazydontklunkerz]

@@originalchristianvogt oh i see, i didn't know that there is a left sided drivetrain, thanks for the info.

[@tonythetourist2025]

I love inverted cranks😊 Makes a Klunker Klunker.

Sweet ride. What bars and seatpost clamp did you use? Cheers!

[@crazydontklunkerz]

the bars is Geestar Bemidbar 4.5 DJ handlebar, and the seatpost clamp are just the standard bmx seatclamp

[@paoloraytamunday1207]

Based sa link ng mga parts I know kabayan ka. Hehe. Anyway, ganda sir. Ask ko san ka nakahanap ng frame at straight fork. Planning to build kasi. Looking forward to your reply. Ty

[@crazydontklunkerz]

Halos sa FB marketplace at Shopee ko lng na score mga parts sir

[@djantix1200]

Nice build!

[@nickbergin9828]

Hi. Fun bike. I dig it. Do you have a parts list for this build you would be willing to share?

[@crazydontklunkerz]

hi, yes im willing to share, but most of the parts ive used in this build are my spare, except for the Handle bar, 3 piece crank set and handle grips. is there any particular parts you need to know?

[@king_elvis818]

Yes, what headset did you use.

[@gabrielduarte3904]

@@king_elvis818 x2.. also need to know about the headet adapter..

[@MH-cj1gz]

Whats the brand or name of the style the chain is

[@crazydontklunkerz]

@@MH-cj1gz shimano olive chain

[@gabrielduarte3904]

what kind of headset is that, that lets you install an over ahead of non threaded fork?? i must know!

[@crazydontklunkerz]

It's an oversize Headset, but needed to resize the insert of the headset cup, so i bring it to a machine shop to lathe the insert to the size of the headtube

[@post_historic]

The bmx style crank with the single bolt holding the chain ring is worrisome. If it shears (which they do) you would loose the coaster brake.

[@adrianguillermolenzincampo2721]

Awesome

[@AyeYohan]

Where did you get that bike stand?

[@crazydontklunkerz]

on our local bike shop :)

[@yardsalecycles]

nice build did you clear coat the frame or just run it raw??

[@crazydontklunkerz]

just raw, i did swipe some boiled linseed oil on it

[@mickeyosmith]

Where'd you get the headset pieces and the bottom bracket parts? They look new?

[@crazydontklunkerz]

the headset was an Oversize headset, then i bring it to our local machine shop to adjust the insert diameter to match the frame, then the bottom bracket and part are BMX parts that you can easily find on your local bike shops.

[@king_elvis818]

Ugh. Was hoping headset was something not custom.

[@busagactv]

solid 👌

[@oldmenbmx]

What did you wipe the frame with and why

[@crazydontklunkerz]

it's boiled linseed oil to preserve the patina and protect it from rusting

[@Johann-4354]

Real nice.

[@crazydontklunkerz]

thanks!

[@aguilahazael9711]

What kind of stem is that ?

[@crazydontklunkerz]

its a BMX stem

[@danielecasalatina8655]

I wish I could find a frame like that 😢

[@crazydontklunkerz]
