Re: 63' Sportsman

hey scrumblero cool bike if you need any parts for that let me know , Ive got three 5 speeds like that complete bikes that are good for parts ...tin

awesome! I still haven't decided what to do with it yet. it could be such a sweet rat, but I've seen so many cool diamond frame mods on here it makes me want a guvnor or maybe a retro fixie . :roll:

After determining that it was way too small for me and no one else was interested, I decided to overhaul it and flip it.. sad really. as its really fun to ride!! I'm only into it $60 or so, so hopefully I'll get my money back. :roll:

A few pics before it hits CL..

Nice score, I thought Huffy always used Shimano 3 speeds, good to see one with a Sturmey Archer.

I guess this was when they were re-badging Raleighs... :roll:

I had an early '70s Plymouth wagon. Do you know how many bikes you can fit in those things with the seat folded down?

I only wish it was mine.. the neighbor who owns it has resisted my attempts to buy it for the last 15 years...
