Clunker Project
I picked up this classic "cruiser" frame with the idea of converting it into an early-style mountain bike (i.e. clunker). The bike was complete and in okay shape when I bought it. So far I've greasing the bearings and repacking the hubs, and just barely started the conversion. The pic below is "pre-conversion."
