I have been wanting to build a cruiser based road bike after seeing this picture
(sadly it was a quite a while ago that I saw this so I cant give credit to whoever did it)
yes I know this only meets one of the 3 criteria for the rules but I have an idea or two that will make it legal for the MBBO
I will be using this camelback style frame that turned out to be a huffy mad man bicycle without the plastic tank
This will be an ideal candidate for a road based bike because for a steel frame it actually is fairly light
It weighed close to 7lbs
plus the look of this frame reminded me of the Huffy All-Pro muscle bike
What it once looked like (also this is the same frame as the huffy made coca-cola bikes)
So to start with I added a 3 piece crank BB adaptor
And I have this aluminum fork
I originally bought it for another project but it turned out to be to narrow at the top
and it wouldn't fit a 26 x 1.75 tire
but I plan on running a much skinnier front tire on this build
I believe it is from a Schwinn Prologue road bike
