POST- war Huffy (Return of Tiki Time Bomb)

[dodododa]

So I picked up this one from a buddy that has told me that it’s a pre-war bike. It’s badged at a huffy with a New Departure rear coaster. I’ve been waiting to build a bike again since Tiki Time Bomb was stolen out of my garage nearly 5 years ago. Tiki Time Bomb is going to be reborn! Also making my own tank out of surf board foam.

That frame came out in '49...maybe late '48...and ran through much of the '50s. If it's badged Huffy, and with that guard, I would guess early to mid '50s. The serial will give you the exact year, it will start with either #H or H#...the # being the last digit of the year.

Cool bike... great project .

That’s what I was thinking as well. I think it has been repainted so I can’t see any serial numbers. I was going to post in the ID section as well but you saved me some time! Thanks! Either way I’m pretty happy with the find!

Finished the tank!

Got the tank mounted. Needs some odds and ends but she rides smooth as butter. Here is a picture of the original Tiki Time Bomb for reference. It was originally built from a Huffy Panama Jack.

I like where version 2.0 is heading
