Newbie gonna try his hand at this.
Starting with a late 60's/early 70's (??) huffy frame that found it's way to my doorstep a couple weeks ago. I posted it on a fresh finds thread, and a few of you pleaded me to put it out of it's misery
Here's the thread link:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=16170
Also picked up a Huffy brand Exerciser at the curb. Seems wrong not to meld the two, so here's a pic of the doner "bike".
So far, I have $0 cash outlay in this. Going to try and keep it that way. I traded a curb find for the whitewalls. Would prefer a fatter tire, but the price was right. Never heard of the brand before...... "The Silver Star Tire". Wheels are cheapo walmart curb finds.
Of course, I'm not sure where I"m going with it yet. Seems the exerciser has pretty much picked part of the paint scheme for me. The seat is hidous, but I'm going to make it work somehow.
Thanks for lookin.......

Jules
And yes, the weightwatchers seat had to go
7/24
Well, recieved the notice that there was only a week left in the buildoff. Reminded me that I should at least publicly bow out gracefully. About month ago, a friend of mine stopped in, and decided he had to have this thing worse than I had to finish it. So I let him talk me out of it. Here's where she was the day a let go of her. Next build, I'll take considerably more serious........
Truly enjoying the progress of the more serious entrants. I'm humbled by your creativity.
