Huffman Western Flyer Klunker Cruiser Build

[Carbon]

Picked up this mid 50's Huffman Built Western Flyer a few weeks back at a local thrift store. Bike was in great shape, wire wheeled it down to clean bare metal and satin black she went, Weinneman double wall coaster wheels, CST 2.4 tire on front with a chrome 26" Bmx fork and 2.1 on rear, Eastern sealed bearing three piece 165 crankset with Porkchop disk and Sugino ring, Als rapid transit bars with a Profile inverted stem. She rides super sweet, welded up a custom layback post for it, frame geometry is just right.

Nice clean ride! What do you think it weighs? I’m building a klunker out of my Columbia and it’s a heffer. I think it’s mainly the chrome steel wheels though.

Nice job @Carbon !
Didn't the 2.4 fit the rear too?
Usually the Huffman frames hold a big tire easily.
