Mod-rodded Huffy

[Nevergrew]

Hi guys,

This is my daily ride. It's an old Huffy cruiser, I think they called it a cappuccino or something. Anyway, I satin blacked the frame and added white walls. Unfortunately, due to our very hilly neighborhood, I need to run lots of gears, which i think spoils it, but anyway.

Check out my other project in the builds forum.

Gears are cool, What's it look like without the guard? Or is it integral?

No it's not integral, but I can't remember why I left it on. Maybe because the chain was dirtying my work pants, not sure.

After building my 'sleeper', I'm getting so many ideas for this bike - haha. It may just become very ratty once I've finished the other one.

cool huffy! i live in a moderatly hilley area myself and ride to work everyday, so i understand about the gears. i threw 10 speed drivetrain onto my 86 murray monterey with some rims from a huffy mountain bike to run my freewheel. like my single speed cruisers better, bu twhen i have a long distance to cover or i am super sore, i love having the gears. low enough to climb up any paved hill and high enough to keep up with traffic. :mrgreen:
