Hey guys,
Kinda stoked I found this forum. I knew other people were doing this kind of thing with their bikes but who knew there was a whole community!? Well let me begin by introducing you all to my creation. It started life as a men's Huffy Parkside perfect fit, and now it is absolutely no where near what it started life as. It's days as a simple comfy cruiser bike ended the moment I took delivery. Delivery of a bike I did not order in the first place. Thank you random Walmart shopper assigned to fulfill my online order.
My want and need for a bike is all mostly brand new. It's now a necessity as I don't drive. Walking takes way to long, ride apps like Uber and taxis or what have you are too expensive to do daily, and to top it off as I grow older this sense of self preservation and screaming knees keep me off of what was my everything growing up, my skateboard.
So here I stand or.. well, sit? Depends on the incline I guess lol. This is the monster I have so far created. This bike was not the one I had ordered and honestly I couldn't tell you what that was originally supposed to be when I placed the order. Yet the delivery driver showed up and this is what came out of the trunk. I wasn't even mad. Never said a word. A kind thank you and into the lab this chunky huffy and I went. From fork to spoke not much remains of the original comfort bike. It is my workchorse, trail rider, fishing spot traveler, and all around everything.
I hope you guys find this as a cool slideshow from beginning to I am now with it. And if not that then please find my ignorance amusing. I am Frankenstein and this is my monster!
