It's a Huffy, going by the chain wheel, dropouts and frame along with the "H" serial number. The first number is the last digit of the year. The decade is determined by the characteristics. The chain wheel is the late 50's version but the frame has the 60's dropouts so I'd say it a 1961 bike.
Thanks @Wildcat
Great continued work on the paint/patina
Wuz happenin' my Soul-G bruther?
Not much work happening, but I ordered a few parts. I gave the fork the same treatment as the frame. I’m thinking about the rims now.
Crusty hub cleaning and greasing day
Keep plugging away and get this built.
Is it soup yet?
Hubs cleaned and greased. New spokes laced. Almost ready for assembly.
Diggin' those tires and the patina rims! Bring it, Soul-G!
smmoooothhh...
This bike kicked my butt down the stretch. I probably should have mocked it up earlier, but I didn’t, and I paid for it limping across the finish line. The original crank didn’t fit, I needed to order a seat post shim, my chain tool broke just this morning ( which is why I’m stuck with a chain that is too loose ). Because my tires are much bigger, the original kick stand is too short, and a kickstand for a 26” is too tall. I ran out of time for a nice “location” shot, so this is it.
Your build still came out to be a cool ratty grocery getter man!
Glad to see you make it across the finish line.
CONGRATS!!
