Huffy Rocket 12" strider/balance bike conversion.
Missing 2 balls from the head set, 1 from the front hub but no sign this bike has ever been apart. 2016 model year. FYI, the Huffy EZ Build bikes came out in 2019 and are much worse construction. Headset & hubs repacked. Clutch brake arm and brake shoes deleted from the rear hub. Rear axle protrusions cut off. The torn seat cover had lots of staples coming loose so I remove the entire cover. The padding was only 2 mm of plastic foam so it won't be missed.

Some closeups of the junk pedals. Perhaps the most common pedal on bikes in the past 20 years. BSO standard fare. Plastic body, no ball bearings. The plastic turns directly on the pedal shaft.
