[randallace]

well - been on a huffy spree latley , just cant pass up cool looking mountain bikes - LOL- these bikes are cool - got them from different sources , one from southern ohio , and one from northern ohio - and a couple days apart - and both came to me to trade for musical instrumnets i had listed on CL , i didnt seek them out , they found me -very wierd , same make same model , similar bikes
- looking for information on these - any help greatly appreciated
the pair together

-1st one - i assume this one is older , shimano sis, crank was bad so had to switch it out, its now a 2x7 not 3x7 untill i can get the right crank to replace the busted one -pic of dammage

- had brand new kenda tires on it and is in excelent condition

- the 2and one - sram equipped - no issues i can find here , except i cant figure out how to raise the handlebars , help here ?

That is a threadless stem, usually can't raise them or adjust them much. You can usually find a replacement one with more angle on it fairly cheap to get your bars higher.

1/4" is probably as much as you will be able to raise that stem. you do that by adding a spacer under it. Don't raise it too high though, or it won't have enough clamping area.

i assume i can switch out the forks to get a taller stem ??

You can buy those treadles stems in various rise for reasonable prices. Plus you can swap the bars for more rise as well.
