Hello again good forum members. Eventhough I am not even finished with my first build, it does run and I ride almost daily, I am thinking stoopid hard about building another.
I had gone over to my step brothers house and was happily telling him all about my cranbrook with ht bolted on and he took me out back and pulled a cruiser from a pile of bikes he had laying in his yard. Its a president tour de hood cruiser. Told me I could take it home if I wanted it. I happily poped the trunk on my hundai and loaded it up and brought it home \m/. I'm unsure of how big it is exactly but its at least a 24 if not a 26in bike. Has factory bobed fenders. The crank pops when trying to pedal it. It is a POS to say the least but the frame look like its begging to have a ht bolted in there. Ill be tuning it up tomorrow to see if I can't work out the bugs and at least get it pedal worthy. It deff needs a new seat and some grease in the bearings. May swap out cranks with the ones off my sledgehammer frame I recently trashed as that apears to be where popings comming from.
Has anyone built one of these bikes before? It looks perfect for a MB upon searching google I got nothing about the bike. Everything that comes up is about tour de france. - lame -
Ill be posting pictures to my album tomorrow as I rework it (am unable to post pics to thred b/c I can't resize them on my phone)
