Re: Recent Barn Find
Adjusted for increased steering sensitivity I reckon when shredding the gnar.

Re: Recent Barn Find
Just turn the wheel around and hit the wall another time, it will straighten out fine.
That's what I used to do when my fork was bent praticising wheelies on my city bike in the old days.
Very nice base for a klunker, it looks like no need for a respray?

Re: Recent Barn Find
Well, went about yesterday to pick up what was hopefully to be my Klunker project small wad of cash in pocket and the buyer somehow dissuaded me from making the purchase, a shame since travel was 45 minutes both directions. But trip was not a total loss, Chap was top notch and the 20 minutes speaking to him was worth the travel, so not a total loss at least in my mind. Very educational for me so there was some positive, Sad bit is still looking for the proper "Klunker" frame. I'm confident with the onset of spring shortly about they will be popping up like daisies or extreme wishful thinking on my part.

Re: Recent Barn Find(Thrice is a Charm)
Well all of the pretty project bikes weren't available and I've moved to this for "Project Klunk". Hopefully a little spit and shine and she'll shredding the gnar soon. Will update as she progresses, from what I've determined a pre '48 Cleveland Welding Company bike, just acquired while trolling the backwaters lol. Just wishing nothing too evil is lurking under all of the make-up this dirty girl has acquired over the past almost 70 years. Photos are from when she became mine yesterday. She has been stripped and getting ready for not so gentle scrubbing today, this week, this month...
