Stream-Flex (changed from H.R.Puff-n-Stuff)

Postby 37fleetwood on Mon May 03, 2010 4:22 pm

well, though I haven't even placed in the top 20 before, I'm in!
here's what I have so far, a mid '60's Huffy Eldorado or some such. I'm thinking this year will be along the lines of Battlestar Galactica meets Mad Max. we'll see.

figured I already did Godzilla, so it was either H.R.Puff-N-Stuff or Barney to keep the mutant lizard theme going. :mrgreen:

Well, call me a snob or an elitist but I just can't get into this Huffy. I suppose it should have been a sign when the only name I could imagine for it was H.R.Puff-N-Stuff :lol:
as of now I'm looking for a frame to swap to but I'll keep going on this frame until I find something. who knows maybe it will grow on me (kinda doubting it). I'm thinking prewar, I'm even eying one of my precious 1941 Huffman projects :shock:

I'm possibly the only person who looked for 10 years to find a decent '64 Dart, I'm not letting this one out of my sight! :lol:

I used to watch that show when I was a kid "...who's your friend when things get rough... H.R.Puff-N-Stuff, you can't get a little, 'cause you can't get enough"

...yep good times 8) ....keep the name.

still struggling for ideas, I did pick up a set of black wall Duro tires and a set of red GT tires. both have the old Goodyear pattern. I'm not sure which I'll use. so far all decisions have left options open.
don't worry I'll pull something out, I'm throwing around the idea of dual suspension, I wanted to do it last year but couldn't find all the parts required.
my current ideas involve using cables and pulleys in the suspension, we'll see if I can get a working model. :shock:

I had a friend draw a concept of a dual suspension bike, and I did a little adjusting and came up with this, it's what you would get it you crossed a Streamliner and a Twin-Flex, it's based on the frame dimensions of a 1941
Huffman. let me know if I should attempt this.
