I'm considering converting my 64 Clem L frame into a beach cruiser and kid hauler to keep at my in-laws' place in Florida. The bike is currently stripped down to just F/F/HS/BB, so starting from scratch here. I can source most of the components from my various parts bins, but looking into doing a coaster brake set up which I do not have on-hand.
Anyone have experience with setting up a coaster brake'd bike? (Not specifically on a Clem, just any bike in general.) I see MONē has a pretty bas ass coaster brake wheel <https://www.monebikes.com/store/hot-rod-coaster-brake-wheel> that's built on-demand, but I'm not sure it's worth $325++ as I'd prefer to keep the build as inexpensive as possible (we're only down there a few times a year). Any other off-the-shelf coaster brake wheelset recommendations? Also, what other fun components make it a certified beach cruiser? I have some VO Klunker bars to throw on there and I got some some inspirational ideas at the two below links (LOOK barefoot pedals per Crust Matt's Romanceur, pops of anodized components, etc.). Maybe a B-O-B or Frances Cycles trailer to haul gear to the beach? What else is fun? https://theradavist.com/the-coaster-brake-challenge-and-yall-thought-you-were-a-freak/ https://droppedchain.com/first-gen-romanceur/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
