OK, my last Bmx was a DB and its still in the garage and I'm not real familiar with BMX/ The Haro dropout stamp that I saw on line is different then this stamp. is it worth cleaning up? this is how I got it and it was an add on to a trade I made, a if you want it get out of here thing.

Looks like this 90s huffy, cant see the logo up close but thats not the hara im familiar with, sprocket looks like the huffy and yours looks like it has a kickstand mount on the chainstays which isn't really found on the higher end stuff either.

edit ...

stamp on your frame looks like it matches the headtube decal on this huffy tremor too

thought so, but was not positive did not realize Huffy did a marker like that. the welds are not all that great either but could not beat the price

Price is what gets me every time 8) I'm actually digging the huffy tremor in that second link. Chrome is a great place to start any project too :mrgreen: Good luck with whatever plans youve got for it !!!
 
I have a Huffy Flatbed with that H on it. Different frame but same stamp.

Huffy actually was the first to use a molded Carbon Fiber frame back in the late 80's. Huffy has a BMX lineage they had a very good BMX racing team as well. Stu Thompson had a lot of influence with Huffy. Huffy has a few higher end bikes that were not sold at department stores. The first was 100% Cr-Mo Lighting frame (Mid 80's), Carbon Composite (Late 80's early 90's) an alloy Super Charger (90's), and a few mid range steel freestyle bikes as well. The (H) logo does look like a Haro (H) but then Huffy went away from high end BMX. Some say team Murray and Huffy influenced the end of the Mono Shock bikes as well, by flooding the department stores with traditional diamond frames. Today old department store Huffys and Team Murrays have a following of people collecting them. I am looking for a Team Murray X20 in Blue color trim, and a 1st generation Huffy Pro Thunder (Curved Top Tube) in Black and blue trim.
