Hello all!! Wow where do I begin?? Well first of all just wanted to share my build with ya,, Its a 1939 BF Goodrich Streamline. In the process of collecting parts and doin research..
Been out of the scene for awhile and wanted to get back to my roots!!
I grew up in Marin and used to ride Tam back in the early to mid 80's! (San Marin High class of 86) A buddy of mine and I used to have a cantilever Schwinn all built up with full braze ons and everything. We shared that bike but had our own rides as well.
I lived in Novato and we used to hang out at a hole in the wall bike shop called Cross Four Bikes. I forget the guys name but he had a Charlie Cunningham. He did all the work on our Schwinn along with some other folks I never met.... Hmmm!! Lots of work went into that frame! Sadly it got stolen in SF.
My sister still lives in San Anselmo so when I am done with this thing (it will never be "done") I am gonna have to go for a visit and test it out!! :thumbsup:

Hey if Schwinn can put whatever badge they want on their bikes,, so can I !!!

Groovy bus. How much granola will it carry?

Just a quick question,, I plan on running White Industries ENO cranks. I have an MRP bottom bracket adaptor.. What spindle width should I run?? Thanks in advance! Oh here is the saddle I am runnin!! Brook's/Van's

Too late Sky you missed the video of it. It is a nice one, very clean. The owner may be a future darwin award winner though.

straightbarjay, you should email Alan Bonds. He did a bike with white industries cranks and has it posted on the clunkers site so he may be able to help with the spindle length. I am running TA's on mine and I used a Phil Wood bottom bracket that just happened to be the right length but I never measured it. I wish mine had the same fork as yours.

looking good! With all these klunkers coming together there may be more of them now then there were back then.

To be honest I actually dig the van, I always wanted one of the Eurovan ones in AWD... Very practical.

The VW Bus/Van uses the driver's legs to absorb the impact of a frontal collision. Still, very cool.

From one old, VW-driving Novato boy to another...SWEETNESS! That's going to be one nice Klunker. Speaking of VWs, when I was going to NHS I was driving a '64 Notchback. Great car. Wish I still had it. This year will be the 35th Anni of the 1st Repack race. Perhaps an old iron Klunker convention is in order?
