    HUFFY SLANGSHOT

    The 20x20 Huffy Slangshot... I started out with the rusty carcass of a 5 speed 68? Rail. It has Coast King badge and was originally marketed as a Rail Cougar 5 but it's a Slangshot now! The biggest cchangei made was to the fork. I was short on both 16" wheels and slingshot forks so I made...

    As luck would have it I stumbled across a dirt cheap Huffy Exercise bike today. I saw the white speedo with a non-black cable and figured it might actually say HUFFY so PERFECT! What I never realized before is that the left handed drives on these are actually just right handed drives flipped...

    Class 1 or Class 2?

    Seems like there are quite a few bikes in Class 2 that fit the criteria for Class 1. Am I missing something? Why enter a muscle bike build in Class 2?

    Good to know I'm not alone, but do you guys have a banana tree in the corner? :rockout:

    Added a couple more pieces of flare... the mirror has a white reflector so I thought it fit in but it is far too shiny. The picture was taken mid-rustification.

    Help ID these chainguards please.

    One on the bottom left is from an AMF Avenger or something similar.

    A few more bits... sticking with the dirty white theme I added the white grips and some white stem caps. Also had a turn signal unit hanging around that happened to have the same dirty white look so I threw it on too. I used a bunch of old school metal cable clips to tuck everything away...

    That is a previous build off entry called The Screaming Rabbit. There is a build thread if you want to see more details.

    2 weeks to go! I am adding details this week and taking pictures the next. Found a local (25 miles away) 69-70 plate recently along with a hat...

    The mag sprocket is on and so it the stack. Was back and forth between faded orange and dirty/off white for the paper backing on the guard. Pretty sure I am going to run the white though. Now that the original guard is gone I think I need a name change. Going with the Slangshot from here...

    I got some Rail-Mail today!! Going to use the stack for sure but not sure what else?? Very tempting to swap over to the mag sprocket and short fender but I am kind of partial to the long version with braces for this one.

    Just trying to point out what to look for. I picked the entire bike up for under $50 at a swap and lots of serious bike people had walked right past it all morning. There is good stuff hiding in plain sight all over the place if you keep your eyes peeled.

    Believe it or not, that is not a bad price.

    Huffy Slangshot (formerly the Crusty Cougar)

    I got around to ditching the plastic cable stays.... ...and i remembered that I picked up the proper grips for my Screamer Gremlin. That will free up some white Huffy grips. No "H" but otherwise the same as on Rails...had they ever made them in white. Not 100% sold on the white yet but I'm...
