A friend of mine owns the local Trek dealership a block or so from my shop and when he wants a break he comes by to visit usually riding a bike, he shows up on this the other day, he owns it, I haven't tried it yet.
It is a single speed with a new set of brakes on it. He said it is a little slow from a stop.

It is an Asylum Hank : Hank | Klunkin' on a Budget (hankbike.com)
As you can see in the link it came very basic. But it was cool it came with disc braze-ons & 27.5. I rode it stock for a while & liked it so I decided to mod. Velocity Blunts with XT hubs and Avid discs. Vintage Cook Bros cranks and vintage Tomaselli levers. Brooks ouch couch of course. WTB Vigilante front & Trail boss rear. It's a blast to ride if you're into this kind of thing. Made one year only, 2015 I think. When they come up for sale they go quick.

Looks great! What brakes are you going to use with the road levers?

Thank you,it's a wet paint. I used Montana Black Ink Blue as the base with the Montana Black Holographic metal flake for the top coat.

I found a guy on eBay that did some custom holographic foil Schwinn decals that should be here in a couple days. I didn't clear coat it as I wanted a matte finish,but I'm going to tear it down and do the gloss coat before I apply the logos. The gloss will make the metal flake really pop. It will definitely be sparkli

Finally got to ride this build!
This is super fun. Nice responsive frame and super smooth 650b 38mm tires. Gearing is 48x17 which comes out to around 72" - felt pretty good although there wasn't really much wind today.
I'm looking forward to getting some real brake levers so I don't have to climb in the drops all the time though
