My Beach Cruiser winter project got a really late start. I got all the bearings cleaned up, rebuilt the bearings in the hubs, replaced a couple spokes, and trued up the rims. I also got that stuck seatpost out! It was worse than the frozen stem removal and I swear this bike was under water with the amount of rust inside the frame and wheels and the bearings. Normally a bike this bad would get checked in the scrap pile, but I got it off a friend and will go ahead and complete the job, but with a change in direction.

At first I was going to chop and drop the frame and go with a low rider look, but with the status of the bike and time constraints, I decided to make this beach cruiser a budget "Klunker" bike but this one will be more of a single speed "Urban Bomber" type bicycle.

I also got the frame and fork sanded down to bare metal to remove rust. Here are some pics.........







Updates later on the rust bucket!
