1975 Huffy Thunder road and a bad a$$ helmet and early repair stand

[bikesnbuses]

Picked up this "low mileage" 75 Huffy Thunder Road..Even had the plastic caps on the axles..The chrome on this bike is FANTASTIC!It must of been stored somewhere dry!I only hosed the dirt/dust off it,with a serious cleaning/detailing this thing will be AWESOME!
I also got an original "Captain American / Easy Rider" motorcycle helmet! And it fits my fat head!!
Annnnd an early Eldi repair stand..(PS I need another clamp if anyone has one for sale please LMK!)

Nope,no chain guard..well..actually it has a "chain guard" built in/attached to the sprocket.. That's all it came with..

I know the earlier one's had a black with white pinstripes chain guard not sure if they all did. but that does look like an add on that I have found on some older bikes.

Yeah I think somebody did a crank swap and the rat trap pedals too. If it was adult ridden they may have liked the longer crank arms. Ive done that before and makes a huge difference. Heres my old WF with a crank and guard from an old 10 speed.

If you Google 1975 Huffy thunder road.. There's a bunch of them with the same crank set up.

That bike looks all original to me. The early Thunder Roads came with the long cranks and pie plate chainguards. Later versions came with full length guards. If you decide to sell it, let me know I might be interested.

Cool bike & helmet as well!
