just started redoing my oldest bike to date, a 53 Huffy, and was startled to see a different color on the welds, the tubes are all silver and all the welds are gold in color.. my camera flash is too bright to really show it
checked all the welds and they all look like this, so I am assuming this is factory.. again this is my oldest bike :roll:
also.. what is up with this seat post?
has it been shaved at one time? the metal post that runs down inside the frame looks way newer, as does the bolt that goes down about 12" into it
one last question, when measuring the openings for forks (going with a springer set maybe) do you measure the outside of the tubes, or inside..
many thanks for any help
