|   So here's my Huffy... | terminaut
Sep 12, 2002 9:34 AM | | Well, lately I've been tooling around on this Huffy and it's been serving me well. I may be that I end up being a crash test dummy (hope not!), but the bike's been just about as fun to ride as any of my other rigs. I put in a $5 bid on eBay, and ended up winning it at that price 'cause no-one else loved it... :-(
It gets to do its first night ride tonight, Old Camp and the Luge at 7PM if any other locals are interested.

| First *night* ride... | terminaut
Sep 12, 2002 12:09 PM | | We're doing a full-fledged ride with lights tonight, bombing down the Luge. It should be exciting... I think I'm skipping Fred's in favor of getting rested for a sprint up Mt. Lowe early Saturday morning. |

| Pretty welds...... | anon
Sep 12, 2002 9:49 AM | | .... ;P and dig that laid back geometry. It's pretty weird seeing nice components on a Huffy, be sure to post a ride report complete with other riders reactions to your creation.

| Where's your kickstand?? | Mojoe
Sep 12, 2002 9:59 AM | | Hey, that looks good. I've had lots of saddle time on my Huffy single speeds. Though mine didn't have a threadless headset. Mojoe |
| I bought a kickstand... | terminaut
Sep 12, 2002 12:10 PM | | but it was too short. I think the fat tire and the shock up front kicked the BB a little higher than most kickstands are designed for. |
| $5? I'll give you $3 for the fork... [nm] | Sparty

| you're the ansel adams of bikes | francis
Sep 12, 2002 10:34 AM | | you see them in a different light. What's the bikeid # on this one?
francis |
| 15 minutes... | terminaut
Sep 12, 2002 12:18 PM | | Hey Francis, that was a lot of fun at Dville dude! Anyways, dunno what number this one is but for the record I've been trying to dwindle down the stable to something more manageable. I think I'm back in the thirties now. |

Sep 12, 2002 11:21 AM | | that's one beefy looking bb on there. would an ebb fit in that thing? |
| I wondered about that myself... | terminaut
Sep 12, 2002 12:17 PM | | It'd be sort of fun to slide an EBB in there so I can fool with chainstay length, not that the bike needs any fiddling. Its telepathic handling is already out of this world. Yuk yuk... |
| Different size | shiggy
Sep 13, 2002 9:04 AM | | Ask Crazy Mike about the size but most tandem EBBs are 55mmI.D. |
| BMX BB shell and Forward Horizontal dropouts on an Al frame? | DeeEight
Sep 12, 2002 12:44 PM | | Damn you get nice weirdness from Huffy in the USA. Wish the Toy'r'Us's
up here in canada carried models like that. 1 1/8 headtube also? |

Sep 12, 2002 1:40 PM | | nice work Term, I'll bet that's the first chris king HS ever on a huffy.
awesome!

| what the................ | Trevo
Sep 12, 2002 6:08 PM | | What kinda bottom bracket is that? like a conversion? Will Eccentric really "slide"into there and work?
Hey Ter. Thanks again for that freewheel you gave me. Its worked awsome! Too bad I bent the last 2 axles I put on my Schwinn Lee Tour. I wish they dident suck. |
| Glad the freewheel worked out for ya... | terminaut
Sep 13, 2002 6:38 PM | | The bottom bracket is just a standard BMX-style setup. I bought an adapter to use MTB bottom brackets and bolted it in there since I only have those style BBs. From Shiggy's post, it seems like an EBB won't fit in there. No biggie, but it's too bad the industry didn't standardize on that size for the EBB. |

Sep 12, 2002 6:56 PM | | I must say, thats pretty cool (C:
I suggest taking it to your local upscale bike shop and seeing if the guys there would break the usual "no huffy" rule and work on that one.
As one who has spent alot of time behind the counter in a shop I can promise they would get a kick out of that.

Sep 13, 2002 1:54 PM | | cool rig, term. good to see that huffy is gettin some love. man, who else would build such a beast with so much love?

Sep 13, 2002 6:41 PM | | Hey, since you're doing all this traveling anyways why don't you make a trip down here to SoCal and join us for the Idyllwild race? It should be a hoot! |
| How about that | Tim T
Sep 13, 2002 4:27 PM | | Pretty cool I just did a tune up on one of those yesterday at the shop.tho not as nice as yours it did handle pretty good on the test ride.

| Wow... another one?... | terminaut
Sep 13, 2002 6:47 PM | | I've been riding this thing hard and it seems quite trailworthy so far. The only thing I'm not too thrilled about is that the aluminum is stiff stiff stiff. Well, at least I've satisfied my Huffy fixation now. :-) |
