Well I don't know what else to call it. A friend had given me this newer Huffy cruiser frame (wal-mart) a while ago when I was messing with bikes. It sat in a shed for years...until last week. I wanted a straight bar frame, so I thought I'd make one out of this. Then I'd swap all the parts from my Murry onto this frame.
Cut off the smaller tubes, re-welded the rounded front tips back on. Added the straight bar.
Then I ran into a problem with the Murry's neck being larger than that on the Huffy. So I couldn't use the fork I had without cutting the necks off, and I didn't want to cut up the Murry frame. So, Craigslist to the rescue. Picked up an O.C.C. chopper for cheap. I wanted this kind of fork anyway but didn't think I'd be able to get it done just yet. I'm glad I did.
After I got the neck welded on, I decided it was way to high in the front and the wheel was too far forward. Bad cell pic. You might also notice I had the top and bottom bars welded pretty low on the neck, which I changed. The pics are a little out of sequence, sorry.
So I shortened the fork and made the wheel mount at the bottom instead of in front.
Now I just have to finish welding. I have to get the right handlebars too...not sure exactly what I want but I know it's not what's on there. I'm thinking of two individual bars that mount at the top of each leg of the fork, something down low.
Tried some ape hangers, it looks cool but thats not the style I think I want for this one.
Might go with blackwalls too eventually.
More to come as I get more done! Thanks for looking.
