50 Huffman as purchased from soulshine73 Took her for a ride today, pretty much just added a tank, a chainguard and some boiled linseed oil to everything rusty

Hazzardous Worksman, nexus 7 hub out back, GT cranks and sprocket, leader fgfs handlebars and a cheap chrome bmx fork. Got a mini "hornit" bell that has a lot of sound effects, one of which is a dixie horn. Rebel flag valve caps from porkchop to make racial insensitivity removeable :)

Found her on CL and gave it a spitshine, a new brake cable for the atom drum brake, and some new pads up front and then took it on vacation! Great rider

Did you get that elgin at the Don Rock auction in Bellevue? I spent 36 bucks and got 2 bikes and a Tahoe load of parts! Thanks to the Wet/Cold people stayed away and folks got some sweet deals

I took the camera on a few rides this summer. Thanks to member subadrew for the 95 Schwinn Cruiser Six frame that I bought from him back in January and turned into this quasi Klunker. Up a tree while on a trail ride in Bellevue, Nebraska. Notice the green arrow on the trail sign says "easy"...

This is the klunker I built up this spring to play with during my summer break. I got the frame from member subadrew back in January. It is a 1995 Schwinn Cruiser Six. It rides/stops awesome and I have had a blast with it. I rode it last weekend in Omaha's "Corporate Cycling Challenge" in the 25...

This is the Amica folder that was my wife's ride when she was in elementary school, it hung in her parents garage for 20 years and sat in our shed for 8 more before I finally pulled it out and got it going again. She still loves it. Don't ever lose your seatpost by the way............
