I have been hankering for a Klunker for a few years. So I picked up an old Schwinn DX with a "The World" head badge. The bike was in decent shape for being over 70 years old. It had mostly original or at least period parts and a flat black rattle can paint job and good riding but dry leather saddle. It is structurally sound except for the stay bridges being mangled. I welded a derailleur hanger on the rear dropout because I'm old and I want gears. Sourced a Sachs drum brake hub on a Sun rim, a chrome fork with canti bosses and pedals from eBay. New grips, cable stop, bottom bracket adaptor and headset from Amazon. The rest of the build came out of the parts bin with mostly mid 1980's parts including a Suntour Cyclone M II rear mech and a Biopace crankset. 5 speed 14-32 freewheel shifted with Shimano EM thumbies. Gotta do something about all of the wire ties though. I gave it a faux "survivor" paint job including cream colored "socks" on the rear. It is very fun to ride and surprising nimble coming in right at 33 lbs. All the original parts were saved so she can go back to where she started by grinding the derailleur hanger back off. Sorry for no before pics. Last pic is from the shakedown cruise. 8 miles of hilly trails. Made me thankful for that 32 on the back.
