Something Different

Decided to build a muscle bike for a change, huffy rail. I picked up this frame that was already powder coated. It's a silver base coat, then 2 candy greens & then clear. Not use to working with gears & cables & all that stuff but it's coming along.

Cool paint. Rattle can over the powdercoat?

It would be fun to ride one of those again. Build looks like it will trun out really cool.

I was never old enough to have banana seats as the current "technology", but there were always kids riding their older brother's old bikes. These had banana seats and I remember thinking the cranks were too short, but that they were a lot of fun to ride.

One kid even had an old beat up Yamaha Moto bike (at the time it would have been less than 10 years old). I may not have even remembered it if it hadn't been for the gigantic seat that had a billboard sized "MX" on the back.

I rode that a few times and it was a big pig!

Anyway, really nice effort so far. I look forward to seeing it completed.
