Happy Festivus Everyone! In this Episode of Fiets of Strength I take an old, thrashed, 1950s Firestone "Special Cruiser" bicycle frame and make it a 27.5" singlespeed klunker style mountain bike. Some special frame gussets and reinforcements, a modern fork, stem and handlebars, and it's ready to rip. Follow along to see how I do it.
