Hey Mark! I'll definately have to join you guys for a ride sometime. The bike is in primer now and I need to get a new chain but other than that it rides good.
Hey all! I'm new here, so check out my intro thread. Just got an old school 60's model Huffy to fix up and build a rat style bike. I usually mess with cars, but that is so expensive that I decided to try bikes. So here is the bike the day I got it:

Hey all new here from the NKY/Greater Cincinnati area. Came here after buying a 60's era Huffy from a local guy who is a member here and recommended me to the site. I have a couple quick pics of the bike.
