The newest addition to my fleet, and another Craigslist acquisition: the Klinedinst Special. I know very, very little about this bike and cannot find any information about it, or the company. The guy who sold it to me seems to think its from the 1930s and another fellow from a vintage and collector’s bicycle forum says it looks like its from right around WWII. Either way, its certainly old and unique. The frame has an interesting geometry: low and long with 26inch wheels. I am going to be fixing it up and making in ride able again. I am not going to throw around the word “restoration” because I am certainly not holding the original parts in reverence; but I am going to keep it looking pretty similar to how it does now.
Please, if anybody knows anything about this company or bike, let me know!
oh those handlebars are sweet! are they still in decent condition?
The handlebars are in good condition. The whole bike is actually pretty good, all things considered. The wheels are trashed, but I picked up a girls cruiser of CL a few weeks ago for 15 bucks that has the exact same wheel size. Yoink!
We should go riding sometime.
Oh yes.This will do quite nicely. The logo is the best. Where is this?
great find. will follow to see how it turns out.
@Bryan – It is currently in a rusty pile in our laundry room. Unless you mean where was the picture taken, in which case it is just right back in out little ally. It’s such a nice viney, worn wall.
