Lets See Those 26" BMX Styled Cruiser Builds

[Wildcat]

Here's an 1983 26" Huffy. Looks like the same frame and forks. If I could see the dropouts better I could tell.

That looks pretty darn close.
Here’s a updated naked shot of the bike.

I stumbled upon this chart , If the info is correct, your bike was manufactured by Huffy Ace (Ramiko) and it's more likely an 83 model

Edited:

I noticed your bike's neck has the exact handlebar neck as the 83 Huffy Super Thunder, so your bike HAS to be an 83 Huffy Super Thunder that has been customized and repainted while the Huffy Badge was preserved and not painted over

Here's one that someone is converting, looks like the same as your frame, if it says Colorado.

Previous post shows the same exact bike I have. Color, sticker, wheels, bars, stem are all matching. It’s back to being a gold-ish Huffy Colorado.

When I removed the rust from the wheels today they had this stamp.
“SUN METAL PROD. INC. 1 81”
Probably left over set from 81 if this is a 83?

I had an 84 Emory with 82 Sun Metal rims. The SA hub on it was an 84 model. So I think they stockpiled those rims. The rim looks in very good condition. I think you have a complete original bike, right down to the tires. I would keep all the original stuff stored away in case someone offers a fortune for it. But I would change it up to make a one speed or 2 speed with nice rims and tires with a Brooks saddle. Although the paint isn't a flashy color, it's still original and in good condition.

I also think it’s a complete all original bike down to the brake pads. Hard as a rock and worn down. Everything I took off of it has been tagged and bagged.

If someone offers a fortune and a good home for it, I’ll consider letting it go.

I appreciate you and everyone’s else’s help and input. I’ll make a post for the bike with lots of pictures. This bike took over this thread for a bit. Thank you.

It is good fun - bulldozer fun. Was a mountain Fat Bike bike that I converted to BMX style with 26x4 wheels. I wrote it up in the builds section:

Thanks, heading to your build thread now.

Alright she’s a rider now, not sure about the handlebars yet. I might try out some chrome big honkin bars that I have laying around.
The new skinwalls buttoned it up nicely.

The black bars match up pretty well. Hard to believe that's a Huffy! Looks great!

Great looking bike, Irideiam!! I can't believe how much the Humu frame looks like the Schwinn Heavy Duti. I'll post up a couple pictures of the HD I'm building.

 

[irideiam]

I agree except for the looptail dropout.

 

[RustyGold]

Sweet Humu! I've been trying to land one of those for years
