[Gold Street Customs]

Sounds like a good title for Craigs list,my Saturday started out running to the parts store for my wifes Achiles Heal Mercury (whole nother story)and my wife told me about this old lady has a bike she wants to give me, so You know what going thru my head colorflow , higgins, schwinn, so as usual I go to pick it up and give her the gritted teeth thank you for the Huffy Mt bike that I couldn't contain my excitement :x so while going into town I figure I would drop it off at the thrift store, and buy another Huffy instead....why .....$7 is why and it was fairly clean. 99 Huffy Bandit with a Gyro and freewheel, it should flip for something[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/12510005.jpg[/img][img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/12510012.jpg[/img][img]http://i248.photobucket.com/al...albums/gg195/holyrollin72/12510011.jpg[/img]][/url]So it cleaned up pretty nice , just have to fix the seat,and after the thrift store I went to my lbs and gave him some vintage diamond block pedals for a Schwinn breeze he has, he gave me this mid seventies Raliegh Super Gran Prix[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/12510001.jpg[/img][img]http://i248.photobucket.com/al.../albums/gg195/holyrollin72/12510003.jpg[/img]
