It's a blast to ride. I've ridden a few trails and ran over a few concrete parking logs at the local park with it....didn't even feel it. This thing is a beast. :mrgreen: It's an Urban Assault Bicycle.

That bike looks like fun. The "camo" red and black with silver paint is pretty nifty looking. I'm storing that away in my memory to use in the future.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Thanks, I thought it kinda gave it an urban camo look, which is what I was going for.

It is a blast to ride, it will go over concrete parking lot logs, tree stumps, roots, rocks, street curbs, jumps, and about anything you put in front of it with ease! And with the big shocks up front, nice soft spring in the rear, and the gel seat it rides like a Cadillac on road or off. Just kinda floats. I also have a suspension seat post I might try to put on here but it's just a touch too skinny. What's the best way to shim it?

Okay I admit it I have hit a wall as far as where to go next with this build. I'd really like to put some more aggressive 26x3 tires on it but I'm not spending $70+ each on them. I don't think fenders would look right, paint is already cool enough though I am going to add some more silver pinstripe to it, bars fit me great and look good, seat really doesn't look right but it's the only one I got that is comfortable that even comes close to the style. I know there's no way a newer Huffy mountain bike could actually win the build off but it just feels like something is missing.

ANY SUGGESTIONS??? ANYONE!!!

A bunny, a bike, and chocolate milk. Dude, that isn't fair to the rest of us!

Take a hint from your bunny. Anodize paint those wheels!
