doing something with the huffman frame

[Jay Moore]

so i had a lot of parts from the rollfast build i was doing. i got rid of the rollfast but kept a bunch of parts for my huffman i mocked it up to get an idea of what i want to do. i'm getting monark forks and red brick tires and cross bar handle bars for it so far thats the plan. here are some pics of the mock so far. the forks are bent and they are a girls so the don't fit just there to get an idea and the goose neck wont go down in the forks far at all. i'm not really useing anything from the front end, but the rims. i want to make it correct for a 1940's no new parts besides the forks and tires. if any one has any good ideas let me know and tell me what you guys think.

I like what you said so far.. Sounds like a good plan..

 

[sensor]

i think youve got a great start :mrgreen:

Looks great. Keeping it green or going with another color?

I'm thinking the green might look pretty cool with the red brick tires.

 

[Jay Moore]

not sure what color i'm going with. i kind of want to do a blue and white paint job with white tires. i guess a lot will depend on what i win off ebay. i really hate those last minute bidders, you walk away from your computer for a minute and you lose. got a few hours left on some monark forks no one has out bidded me yet, hope no one does. i found this pic of an old monark. my frame is close to it so its the best pic to go off of what my plans for the huffman. i would love to get a tank for it but i see them once in a great wile and they sell for more then i want to pay. if any one knows were i can find re-pop tanks let me know.

At this point i'm not sure were this build is going i want to keep it vintage. i got out bidded at the last minute so i'm not going with the monark forks now. i'm still going with a cross bar handle bars but not sure about the rest. in the mock up state it's starting to look like a low rider bike. since the fenders were rusty and dinged up i want to stretch them to rap around both front and rear tires. did a 5 minute primer job to get a fell for it.
