    Huffy Tiger 2 or Tigress * DONE *

    I found another 80's girls Huffy Good Vibrations that started out like this... After experimenting with green, and black for the frame color, I decided on yellow. I wanted to do another animal print in Tiger pattern since the girls thought the others were so darn cute. I started with...

    Trans Gender Regress

    Recently I had some downtime, while waiting for parts for other two projects, Zebra &Tiger (pictures 15 -18) so I picked up this (80's?) Ward’s Open Road Cruiser from CL with the intention of ratting it. Since all I have been doing lately is GIRLS bikes, decided to cut this one up. I...

All the parts I added to this Frankenbike, were purchased on eBay one at a time. I started with a frame, and...

    ‘Pard in my pink... Huffy - Sister Zee & Tiger 2

    This $10.00 Huffy started out looking like this, and since my step-daughter Breanna likes pink, I decided to stay with the original color. With a low budget for parts, I did this as cheaply as possible. I sanded the frame and forks, cleaned and polished all the other shiny parts, and used...

    Another Newbie from SoCal

    Hello, For the last six weeks or so I have been struggling with wind, extreme heat, and bugs here in Hemet, CA just trying to paint my recently acquired 1954 Goodyear Hi-Way Patrol boys bike. I have ended up on this forum many times just by doing a Google search for Goodyear. I have an...
