Only criticism is that you didn’t use a gold chain. B. A. Baracus pities you.

[@v0lkai]

100% correct.

Great idea!

perfect theme for a klunker. It turned out so good. That Sturmey Archer hub is so rad.

[@nicholkid]

Just to let you know, your channel inspired me to build up a bike for the first time. I got an old walmart bike and made a point to fully tear it down and then build it back up with newer parts and a 1x. I learned sooo much. I'm grateful for your videos and am always excited when you upload a new one. Cheers!

[@SoukaDeezNutz]

Is the frame holding up? I might consider doing this myself soon if Wal-Mart bikes can handle klunking.

[@janfrancis2583]

What an awesome build, probably my favourite so far. Love 2 speed internal gears, brilliant for the winter here in Sweden. I had a similar hub on an old swedish bike, gave the bike away to an eritrean family that had just moved to Sweden so one of their sons could ride to school. I kind of regretted it a bit as the bike I replaced it with, a 90's mountain bike, had derailleur gears of course and they kept freezing up in the winter. Nothing got at the internal gears. That bike is now a single speed and a lot more fun for it, as it is meant for just round town.

[@CoolBikeProjects]

So rad! The coolest part is the Wheelset! I love kick shift hubs.

[@jp93309]

Awesome build! I’ve been using bmx bars a lot on my builds too. Not only do they look cool but they give enough extra rise without looking like a beach cruiser.

[@emmydianah3324]

*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*

[@humanerror3139]

Yet another wicked build. Bikes are just the best, riding and tinkering, doing everything yourself is the way forward.

[@fredcore3286]

So inspiring and relaxing to watch. Always an amazing job!!

[@JoseMartinez-rp4yh]

You just keep raising the bar each time....!!! Left me speechless..

[@treydipple4579]

My favorite handle bars, and those 2 speed hubs are amazing!

[@scottgarber7363]

Nice bike, your video inspired me to buying a state Klunker. I’m in the process of upgrading the components on mine. Bike reminds me of my old Klunker in 1978 but is much nicer. 👍

[@dwest200]

I have the exact same bike and love it. You’ve inspired me to lace up the SRAM 2-speed automatic w/coaster brake (discontinued) I bought about ten years ago. I’ll put that in the original rim. Use is for city/light trail. Installed an Ibera rack on it and made my own panniers from waxed canvas grocery bags and a Vicinta pannier hardware kit. Makes grocery getting very simple and inexpensive. I’m old so I got the Brooks B67 sprung seat a few years ago🙂. Fat Maxxis Hookworm tires and that saddle make it ride smooth and fast around town. Just enough tread for the light trails here in the high desert of Colorado. Your channel is super! Best part is no talking ‘til the end! Waaay better! And yes, I subscribed👍

[@chrislee6691]

Awesome video as always. I loved the music and love how the bike turned out. This is prob one of my favorite color combinations when building a bike. Keep it up man your such an inspiration!

[@theshredneck7296]

Love it. You inspired me to ‘blue’ my Honzo. Love the look of it.

[@newttella1043]

Love this rebuild! The parts, paint scheme, the ride at the end. I would've kept the bottle opener tho.

[@MegaBarky]

Beer bottles don't fit under opener

[@wzlwcg]

Beautiful, so beautiful that I wouldn't use this bike just put in my garage like a piece of art 👏👏👏

[@simonnomis9547]

What a badass bike! This one is something else. Love your creativity and videos and thank you for giving old things new life :)

[@hamoodrm4726]

such a beautiful and wonderful art you presenting, i am not a big fan of single speed bicycles but i really enjoy watching this transformation.. keep it up, i love seeing you having your own company because you deserve that my friend

[@FAINING]

Yeeeees!!! I was waiting for the kunkler coaster brake customization!!!

[@jimcheese5534]

Thank you for sharing; what an awesome ride, truly one of a kind, beautiful sled!

[@spiffyspokes9758]

I've got to say, that's the quickest rear Derailleur adjustment I've seen you do 🤣, beautiful build can't wait to see more of it 👍

[@isaaclavoie]

Fly build! Love the SA front hub, pure class. Radial lacing is a bold choice on MTB but i guess you are really not going to have issues with a coaster brake bike.

[@orionpaintworks]

Love the white tyres! The result is just stunning!

[@oldshovel]

Thanks my friend

[@nicholaspetersen8579]

Killer build and paint. I'd personally only change the smallest of details. I love it.

Now that's a DREAM BUILD 🔥

[@TheHavnmonkey]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I just received my Klunker 2 weeks ago and was looking to put a 2sp hub on it!!!! Current build so far: swapped out tires for Surly Extraterrestrial 2.5", added a Wolf Tooth Components water bottle cage adapter to drop the cage so I can fit my coozy cage, added a Pelago Commuter front rack (small)... Gonna ride it like that for a bit then add the S2C hub!

[@oldshovel]

Sounds awesome

[@ericklaurila1293]

What a sick build!

[@Pabl0_88]

This has to be the nicest klunker i have ever seen!

[@prudentiaski]

Wow. To be jolted out of my meditative bliss that is Old Shovel by that knife scraping…

[@jackfarrell1369]

I just wanted to let you know I bought one of these bikes because of you and I don’t regret one bit of it. Klunkers are one of the things you just can’t compare anything to the feeling of just throwing the bike around the moment you hit a bump is incomparable.

[@justinthymes5680]

That turned out super sweet!!

[@pb8484]

Awesome build

[@sagehiker]

Love your eye for color and contrast. Then finish the story on some single track. I will have to admit I am not nostalgic for my 60’s cruisers though I love the work and care you put in yours. Bikes did not really hook me until I was an adult and rode my first 80’s MTB. Then I was done for.

[@cartracer64]

great build, liked the color scheme and the quality parts used.

[@mitch6221]

Wow!!...,U surprised me on this rebuild/upgrade "klunker"..,(excellent "components" used!!),thanks.😊☕🚴

[@cbrown182]

Such a cool bike.

[@zackloucks6836]

I heard the A-Team theme song in my head all the way thru this build! Nice work!

[@SD_Marc]

Love my State Klunker. I noticed your porcupines have square nubs. I remember them having round nubs, like soccer cleats, in the 90s. I saw an article where Greg "Hairball" Herbold was showing his white porcupines after one downhill run missing nubs because of how soft the white impound was.

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

Great build . I love those bars too. widest i ever had was an Azonic double Wall riser that was at least 28 wide. i miss that bar.

[@indianadave8881]

I got my first bike with the 2 speed kickback hub. It's a Felt Rail 29er. I thought it was so cool before I started riding it regularly. Now it just sits, as I'm trying to sell it. I got tired of it shifting when I was just coasting, or everytime I got the brakes, I had to shift again. Got really annoying .. I'll take a 3-speed cable shifted Sturmey any day Love your channel and builds. Can't wait to see how that bike does on the trails. I don't think Is like mine

Seaside Ca i’ve been looking at this video for a long time and I wanna decide to myself this summer of 2024 to make a conquer so I could ride my youth times. I just want to say that the Seattle classic is here in my area and it starts this month of April 15 through the 21st next year I’m hoping to enter a race at my age group of 65 years younger. I’m very glad to see something like this and I’m thinking about a beach cruiser frame a newer type of frame a heavy duty beach cruiser frame a Schwinn look-alike yeah it just I wanna start this soon.
