you got it. here's a pretty interesting quote from Rick Vosper, Director at Airborne Bicycle: "Airborne has its own staff, financials, budgets, etc etc. The most important thing we get from Huffy (besides seed money, of course) is stuff like warehousing and accounting services. Other than...

a 69er! yeah i've read about 30lb too. i am planning on upgrading my wheels, going tubeless, and upgrading my fork over the winter.. hoping to be in the 25lb range next year.

i would say they are right on par with those brands, they just do it at a lower pricepoint. my main riding buddy rides a Trek that has an identical spec, but with the next better front shock offering from Rockshox.. but it's a $1050 bike.

it's not a subsidiary so much as they just use Huffy's shipping and buying power.. there is absolutely nothing "huffy" about the actual bike.

haha. i'm 6'3".. they're much more comfortable than they look actually!

i'll have to get a good full picture of the bike but here are some close-ups of the flames i did on the chain guard and tank: did the base coat in flat black, put down some painters masking tape, drew the flames by hand with a pen on the tape, cut them out with a hobby knife, and then laid...

not a whole lot of time or parts but it didn't need much IMO:

greetings from the MI west coast.

so picked up what turns out to be a 55 or 56 chicago schwinn from the local auction for less than $20. has what i assume is some sort of homebrew fork on it, a combination of two forks. not sure what direction i'm going to go with it just yet, but have a couple ideas (with or without this...
