This bike was basically a "how cheaply can I build a bike without spending a single dime?"
Started out life as a big box cruiser. Swapped the fork for a stock '84 Stumpjumper fork that someone had "converted" (read: hacked) to threadless, used some questionable Monkeylites, an old Turbo saddle, and some beefy old mtb tires that weren't good for real riding. Spaced a freewheel rear wheel to 120 and dished it out, and bodged an American-to-Euro bb adapter and a loose bearing bb. Finished it off with a trendy rattlecan paintjob.
