We don't ride anywhere near the same style of bikes, but it always amazes me what you do with what all you have. Makes me think sometimes, maybe I've spent too much on my bikes. Lol Another great video, Randy! I hope it rides as well as it looks! As always, take care you two and have a great week!
I'm really glad you find these builds interesting despite not being what you would ride. I like to think I don't spend much on bikes but if I were to really tally up the costs I could probably own a fleet of nice bikes. It's really for the enjoyment of thinkering with them though and that's worth something. Thanks John.
Always surprised how cool the bikes look when you're done with the build. Nice Randy.
Thanks. You just reminded me I meant to ask a question on your latest.
Great vid old fruit but I was feeling your pain, those man sniffles can really take it out of a guy, to say nothing of messing with your head.
Good work soldiering on despite adversity.
We like da bike 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks Ian. Have a great week.
Cool build. I love the long look of the bike. Great patina.
Yeah I really like the patina too. Thanks Roger.
Excellent. I’m going to put the bearing cup catcher coat hanger in my back pocket for later. Thanks pal!
Yeah just started doing that fairly recently after years of chasing cups all around the garage floor lol.
I'd almost guess that frame is pre-1938(prior to cantilever) being a diamond frame. Nice project.
Thanks for watching and the info.
I love that frame especially the color & patina. cool ride.
Yes i too like that color and patina. Thanks.
Another Rad build Randy. That front rim looked like a schwinn hence the stupid tire issue. I still fight this between my schwinn parts stash and my regular stuff. Keep crankin! 🤙
Yeah I swear it's like every builds is my first time lol. I never retain what I learn from all my trial and error. Thanks Eric.
@@Locojoe well that keeps us in the lifestyle! It's a new adventure every time. Never gets boring! Hahaha
Klunkin ain't easy... but it sure is fun, nice job Randy. Also thanks for your hard work filming & editing, we appreciate it.
More to come on this bike. Spoiler alert: It wasn't quite right. As always thanks Gloria.
Actually, David. Using wife's tablet. Sorry @@Locojoe
@@gloriahenderlong8900 Ok. I just try to be personable in my replies but new it would bite me one day lol. Thanks.
All that it needs is a brooks saddle and it'll be just right...i've been riding brooks since 1978 and just can't do anything else.😉
I do have a few B66s sitting on the shelf but they weren't right for this build. I do have a B17 and a B72 on other bikes. Oh I also had a spare C17 I could have used on here I guess. I probably ought to get another B17 or 72. I think they started making the B72 again. Thanks for watching.
Love that frame and build. You have a great eye.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Hello randy! Nice build! Hope all is well! Tell Nova I said hello
Thanks Willie. I will.
Love the tires, Joe!
The ones I ended up going with are Geax Booze. I really like those red/cream tires though and need to find a build to use them on. Thanks for watching.
As usual, metric is king. The wheel was labeled correct. There are at least five different 26" diameters.
26" - 559 mm
26" - 571 mm (650C)
26" - 584 mm (650B)
26" - 590 mm (650A)
26" - 597 mm.
Thanks for the info.
Your videos/builds are contagious. Should not have watched this video as it has me itching for another build, but wait I have not even completed my first.
lol no where is it written you have to finish one before starting another. Thanks for watching.
If you had a 650b tire sitting around you could have done a tire mullet setup with 650b in the front.
You know I thought about that. I may get a tire for that rim just to play around with and see what frames and forks it would fit. Maybe convert a 26 to 650b. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Looks great
Thanks!
Nice build , love the patina . Those red tires would have set it right for me . Do you sell your builds or just build them and then disassemble then again after sime time
Thanks. Yeah I really like those red tires but just didn't feel they were right for the klunker direction I was going with the bike. Some day I'll build a bike around them.
No I don't sell them. Just like you said I ride for a while, disassemble for a while and then rebuild generally in a different configuration. Thanks for watching.
@@Locojoe that's awesome . Great videos and builds . Keep up the good work
