Firestone Cruiser Klunker Build

[Pondo]

I have a video of my test ride. At the beginning of the video, my plan was a controlled ride with one hand on a phone camera. You can hear clicks when I applied the front brake and that’s when I needed two hands to avoid a crash. I was able to use one hand again at the end. The ride was actually pretty smooth but the video didn’t look to smooth. It’s a fun bike.

That looked fun!!

Ride videos rule! Klunking off road, does it get any better?

Nice build!
I don't see a number on the dropout, so it's probably pre-1954. Is there a number on the BB? Maybe on the seat post binder clamp? There's a bunch of different serials for Huffman and Firestone branded Huffmans. Post the number and I'll try to decipher it.

There is a number on the BB but it’s covered in paint. I’ll look closer. The headbadge is cool. It’s black, white and chrome. It cleaned up but I’m not home to post a better picture. I’m sure this badge tells something.
