So as a kid I had what I felt was the badest Muscle bike around, the Firestone (Huffy) Rail 5-speed and today I still feel that way, that’s no disrespect to the other Muscle bikes or owners out there I just loved my bike that much as a kid. Being from southern Ohio only about 40 minutes or so from the Huffy plant made this pretty much Huffy territory. Now that I’m older and like to restore bikes I’ve had three bikes on my bucket list I wanted to build and restore. First one was a Huffy Wheel which I built for last years MBBO4 (Wheel’n in the years) and I’ve been working on my second bucket list bike off and on now for about a year because I want to do it up right, a duplicate of my first Muscle Bike that Firestone (Huffy) Rail 5-speed down to the same decals I put on it as a kid. Now this years MBBO5 build is the third of my three bucket list bikes. It’s taken me since the end of last years MBBO4 to find the right bike to work with and it won’t even be delivered till about Friday a week after the MBBO5 already started but I have been gathering parts since this past winter anticipating this build and that’s all I have pictured below, some parts to be used. When the bike I bought gets here I’ll post before pics of it but for now all I can do is just sit and watch.
. As you know the "insured shipping" that's promoted by shipping companies is always a joke so I'll give credit to the guy I bought it from being a stand up guy, he said he would replace the broken and bent parts. So this small set back will just give me time to work on other stuff for the bike until I get the replacement parts.
