I was just about to go outside and work on a bike and I noticed the new video build from you so I had to come back and watch it before going outside for motivation! Thanks Randy for making my Sunday that much better!
Cool . I’ve got a 26” Huffy that I’m putting BMX 20” tires . The pedals are too low so I’m going to weld a new bottom bracket on . I’m thinking it will give me 4” ground clearance and the chain will just miss the frame .
@@LocojoeBRAKING NEWS. Welded the bottom bracket in , chain just clears lower bar . It rides like a BMX , I’m looking for motorcycle handle bars and going to weld in a pipe for calliper brakes . I wish I could send you a picture
Sweet ride mate 🤙🏽. I wish I could get one of those Schwinn frames but you never see them over here in the jolly old UK. I like your attitude, sometimes one just cant be bothered to do a ‘really nice Job’ 😏 sometimes it is what it is. Wasnt a full moon when you built that was it? 🧐. Stay groovy man 😎
Yeah I hear that often about the scarcity of the old American cruisers over there. Really nice jobs take patience which I have none of. Also fussing over something too much sucks the fun out. Thanks Ian!
Something like this I suppose... many years ago we each had a new road and mountain bike which seemed like overkill when we just wanted to ride errands or around the neighborhood. I decided to find us some old cruiser bikes for that type of riding which I didn't have any luck with at first so we bought new cruiser bikes from a big box store and totally modified them to our liking. Later I started coming across the old bikes and fixing up and modifying them. At first I was repainting/powder coating and making them all nice with new parts then later realized I prefered them ratty and trying to reuse as many parts as possible. Never been into restoring. At one point I was doing more chopping and welding making choppers, stretch, tall and swing bikes. Hope that answers the question. Thanks.
Thanks as always! Schwinn turned out nicely!
Thank you!

Awesome build as always. Proof that a bike doesn't have to cost $$$$ to be fun.
Yes less dollars = more fun lol. Thanks Roger.
Long live the Klunker !!!
"SUPPLE"...love the hat, hilarious. Wish I knew where to get one at.
It was a patch I bought from Path Less Pedaled and glued to a hat. Looks like they are out of them now though... pathlesspedaled.myshopify.com/
@@LocojoeThanks for the info on the patch Randy.
I love it! The front cable housing almost had me roll out of my seat. Excellent!!!
Thanks.

Ah I like funky builds like that. I haven't done anything like that in a while. Have fun with it.

@@overrevkev3851 Cool. You can e-mail randy@locojoe.com or messageme on Instagram @locojoe
Great reuse of used parts.
Greetings from Croatia
Thanks for watching!
Always love the rebuilds..
Good. Thanks.
That USPS magnet on the inside of your garage door... you did that gig for a while?
No it's just one of the many things I find while riding and drag home.
i wanted a high seat for my bmx so i can pedal comfortably, i used a galvanized pipe LOL
Hey whatever ables you to get where you want to go lol.

You painted over chrome?
I'm gettin' a rope.
lol
Question at 11min what is the part called that you attached the rear brake to?
Sorry I don't know what it's called but it's the part off of a cantilever brake that holds the brake pad.
How did you get into “restomods”

And now I’m back to riding errands and around the neighborhood on those same years of mountain bikes lol.
