Not certain what it is but my lady likes it and we want to get it rollin again. Anyone know what it is?
I'm thinking it's a Huffy Eldorado. Any way to find out what year or maker for sure?
We're also going to be looking for parts, like the original light, rims, tires, etc.. Got any parts sources?
I'm also curious what is the biggest size tire that can fit on these with the fenders.
Thanks





 
First of all Welcome to the forum, What does the badge on the front say you can start buy looking for some serial numbers at the back hub flip the bike upside down and look there should be some numbers located where the crank is at just look the whole bike over and write down any numbers you can find and someone can help you hope I have helped some.

This is definitely Huffy built, and with the parts it has, likely was an Eldorado. Probably mid-late 60s but the serial number should be H###### and the first number after the H will be the last number of the year. So if you've got H8, this would be a '68.

Most middleweights can't fit bigger tires than the standard 1.75s without removing the fenders. If you want to make it original, your best bet would be to find an already complete bike on your local craigslist. These types of bikes turn up regularly in original paint, with all the parts intact for 75-100$. I'd say go through the bearings here and get it riding, then keep an eye out for a nicer example.
