Hello new guy from Ohio. Just starting to get into bikes after many years. I have a old frame I'm starting with that I've had in the rafters of my garage for over 10 years. I am doing research and trying to find the year and make of it. I will be posting pics after I open a photo bucket account. I want to thank everyone in advance for all the info.

I started riding on a 24" Evans bike in 1962 in Sandusky.

A 64 Huffy (made in Dayton) is a good frame to build with. That looks like a 26" bike, so there's a lot of parts that will fit. Even a junker walmart beach cruiser's parts will work for the most part.

I would go to craigslist and get a cheap 26" girls beach cruiser and save a ton of money by using the cranks, wheels tire handlebars, nearly everything will outfit the Huffy and give you practice at it.

It wasn't that far a ride from where I lived in Perkins Township. Country roads and cornfields!
 
Wow thanks for all of the welcomes and info. I lived in Cleveland all my life, until recently we finally decided to get our kids out of there. I now live in a little college town its a lot safer for the kids. I have been looking for cheap donor bikes locally I plan to have fun with the build. I have some of the original parts like the crank, chainguard, kickstand, etc. It had 24 inch wheels that were on it but many years ago I gave them away with a few other parts. Will be a good winter project for sure.
