Finished...for now.

Couldn't have done it without that seat post. That thing could double as a weapon!

Finished!

Just completed the transformation from beach cruiser to board tracker. Before: After:

Please do!

After working the paint for toooo looong I came to the conclusion that it had too many issues for me to ever be happy with the results. I've decided that (as soon as I finish up another open project) I'm going to strip it and repaint it. Wish I could save the graphics but not looking good. I've...

LOL You need a better map! I picked it up for $30. It ain't pretty but it'll be a fun project. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=78602

Picked from CL. Advertised as an American Flyer for $50 The Good: Loaded it up for $30. Originally an Arizona bike brought to Georgia a couple of years ago so very little rust. The bad: Obviously the bent forks. I'm gonna try my hand at straightening them, otherwise I've got a...

Thanks guys. I'll keep y'all posted.

Just down the street from me. I could get it this afternoon, but I'm on the fence. I've got a couple of donors I could probably get the forks from, if these are beyond hope. So...what do y'all think? Worth the trouble? http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/bik/4163369669.html

I believe you are correct, Wino. I assumed they were the same when I picked them up... I've heard that Free Spirits were sometimes Huffys as well as Murrays but once I got them home I could see the differences. I think overall I like the Huffy frame better. I also wondered about that short rear...

A Free Spirit and a Good Vibrations for $30. Both Huffys I reckon.

This One Won't Last Juuuust a little tender loving care, http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bik/4139244412.html

Messing around with different parts, trying to find "the look". Board tracker? Maybe lay the seatpost back and swap to a smaller Brooks saddle.

With Gulf Coast ReCycle or ReCyclery...I'm picturing coming in to work every morning and finding bags of aluminum cans and boxes of newspaper and magazines piled up at your front door.

Found this Glide Deluxe on CL. When I got it home:: Next day, work in progress: Much more to do!

Pulled the fenders, changed the grips, lowered the neck. Looking better already.

Lemme smoke that one over biggdaddy. Usually I like to hang on to original parts as much as possible But I'm not sure where I'm going with this one yet. I'll let you know if I do.
