Yeah, I'm tempted to buy a few raffle tickets myself :lol: . I'd feel too guilty if I won though.

Got the frame, forks, and chainguard back from my buddy, thought I'd toss up a sneak peek pic. The paint has a light dusting of pearlescent in the clear, looks pretty cool out in the sunlight. Should have some finished pics soon...

Re: Huffy build for charity raffle (ASSEMBLY)

Got a little more done, ran the chain and shift cable. I forgot to grab part of the fork from my buddy so I'm stuck until I see him again. Hoping to be done within the next few days

I like the cranebrook frame. Even if it only costs 85.00 for the whole bike. My three speed rat is a cranebrook. With a set of apes, the lines of the bike create a real nice bobber look.

Awesome build and cause!

Couple of questions:
1. Do you know the exact size (height) of the apes? 12"? 15"?
2. Is that a 26" bent springer fork?

Looking good. Great Idea on the seat.

Re: Huffy build for charity raffle (ASSEMBLY)

Oh man, I've got questions to answer! :lol: The handlebars are 9.5 inches tall, and yes the forks are 26" bent springers ( found at a swap meet). Yep, the seat cover is just a t-shirt :wink: , but I used 3 layers of material and lots of coats of kiwi aerosol shoe protectant. Bike is now complete except for the custom seatpost, will post finished pics as soon as it's done.

Thank you for answers. When you get a chance, can you post more pics of the handlebars? Where in the heck can I find apes that are less than 10"?
