Keeping em ratty

[micvin]

So, a couple of weeks ago my wife and I were heading to her Dad's house when I spotted a pair of Huffy Cool Vibration cruisers at small resale shop having an outdoor sale. I went back to see how much and got them both for $40. I haven't really checked how old they are. Probably not old at all. I mostly wanted them because I like the frame style. I'm going to leave them looking rusty and ratty like they are, but just clean them up and spray some clear coat on the frame, new wheels, new tires, new grips, new chain and clean up/polish the rest of the chrome/metal bits. Below are some photos. More pics on the progress soon.

Scored! You guys are lucky, in that condition those would probably sell here at $160 each! Have fun with those

Yes, they aren't that old, but still a good score and leaving them ratty is a good idea. Looks like your rear tire is about to come off the rim in the b/w pic.
