I've been slacking on my build, due in part to my car breaking down in March (I've been commuting on my bike!) I did find time to bob the fenders the other day...

The latest rendition of my Cranbrook, the Spirit of '76.

Nice big chainguard to paint


Who knows how long before it gets changed again.

What an amazing thread! I've been cruising CL for the past week now and haven't found a frame that suited me at a price point that I'm willing to agree with. This blank canvas idea rocks my socks, hard.

Okay, off to to the big box store now. No time to talk - gotta buy a bike.

I call her Brooksie, after the silent film star, Louise Brooks.

I just ordered one for my girlfriend's birthday... won't have much MOD time before I give it to her, but I'm sure there will be some in the future. Nice bikes folks!

[crump582]

my cranbrook... easiest/quickest bike i have ever done- don't even think my hands were dirty when i was finished just removed all the stickers, chain guard and fenders. then swapped out the pedals, seat, grips, and the front sprocket.

Since I ordered my girlfriend one on-line and have not had it in my hands yet... are the decals under clearcoat or are they easy to remove?

[Wolf's Den Garage]

Easily removed. They're on top. C'mon! It's a Huffy! Ha! Pretty decent bike for the money.

Thanks for the info... yeah it's cheap, but it's a gift that I wanted her to have, probably more than she wants to have it. We ride mountain bikes a lot, but I recently got a Straight 8 on craigslist and am on the hunt for a good deal on an older bike to build for fun. I just need something for her to ride when I want to ride the Electra. This should be a good start until I figure out how much we will actually ride. I will uprgade her bike if needed later.

Thanks!

I bought another Cranbrook this weekend. It's a different color combo than my other one. The frame is dark green with lime fenders. I robbed the black rims for another project. Not sure what I'm gonna do with this one yet.

I think alot of cranbrooks sell just cause its cheap parts to steal for projects... I have 5 stacked in a pile myself just cause buying them on sale makes for cheap wheels and tires .....
