  • This is a highly customized Cleveland Welding Company frame sporting an array of vintage mountain bike parts - was recently returned to me after being stolen a couple years ago

    Seaside Ca. When I was younger, I had some of my bikes stolen in the past. It’s really a bummer when steals it. I’m glad you got it back this summer. I’m going to make a conquer soon as soon as some money comes in and I wanna start something I’d like to build one. I’m really glad you got it back. Nice video and nice job.

    Bought a Raleigh Technium mountain bike new back in ‘86 .. $ 425 bucks @ Drexel Hill cyclery in suburban Pa…. I was a stoner trail rider and enjoyed it ! ( still do ;)
    Made in 🇺🇸.. bonded aluminum frame..
    great machine..
    Still got it ..
    Now it’s a clunker with Bmx bars and an upright stem …
    No more Leaning…
    Cause I’m old 😂

    Looks great and nice to see you got it back . The spray job by the thief just makes the story of your bike that much more cool and interesting IMO.

    I am angry on your behalf to hear this bike was stolen. But I'm very glad you got it back. The only way to earn a klunker is to build one yourself. It's kinda like a right of passage into klunking.And what's so great is the frame type doesn't really matter. Use and old cruiser frame, an old MTB frame, a new modern frame, etc. What matters is you build it yourself.

    I love the build. I bought a Belknap Blue Grass Bike to do this to. After looking at the bike though I am not sure I want to do it. I got it from an older man and his Mom bought it brand new. It is complete and everything works. It needs tires and a good cleaning and proper greasing and tune up. I may just keep looking for an old bike to make a klunker from. The bike was made by Huffy. Late 60's I think.
