Re: The Flying Tiger

That's Awesome! I just can not believe how incredible that looks. What type of frame is that?

Re: The Flying Tiger

Thanks guys it was just an idea i had and i just had to give it a try. im going to try to finish the brakes tomorrow
and find a seat then start on the fender for the rear.
Having the parktools clamp makes life just so much easier too.

Loki - it was some sort of huffy kmart special that came out around the time of the bratz and BFKs. not sure what it was called
but it had an ugly skinny seat and apes (which are now on my chopper in the background)

Re: The Flying Tiger

I think it was a huffy pork chopper or something. Lame seat, lame stickers, but it seemed like a light pretty well built frame.

Re: The Flying Tiger update 5-20 new pics

hey i havent updated in a while, but i decided to get some work done today
i blacked out the front end of the bike to match the crankset. i will do the same with the wheels.
i also added velcro straps around where the brake cable meets the frame to lessen rubbing on the paint
