whats a dropout?

just need some small bungie cords and its haulin' beer!

hell yeah. I'd like to stick with similiar patina so re-painting is kinda out. i may go with a big round handle bar mounted chrome light also.

I need to find a cool old glass reflector for the back then.

the dropout is where the rear wheel
goes in the frame.

bungie cord that beer !

as far as pantia goes........
the similiar can be acheived.
well, it takes knowhow..

this is your bicycle.
what you do to it,
is your choice .


importatnt thing is to enjoy
the bicycle. riding is relaxing.
just remember ; the only place
for the beer while on bicycle is...
in the cans. NOT THE RIDER .
D.U.I. HAPPENS ON BICYCLES TOO !

this is the correct headlight:

they are cool but hard to find. they made a similar one with little red and green pontoon type things hanging off the sides which was cool but also expensive. you could also go for a front rack?

I have lots of photos and could post whatever you need to see and as long as the owner of the bike doesn't mind us using his bike for reference we should be fine.

i would like to see pictures of the bottom of the seat if at all possible.

Also would it be possible to find out what year my bike is by the serial #?


What is that bar attached to the frame that angles back towards the pedals?

I assume the key is for locking the radio dial so someone can't just listen to your radio while your bike is locked to the fence.

And i agree about keeping the beer in the cans while riding. Not only do i really not want to get a DUI on a bike but i don't want to fall off while intoxicated or worse swerve into traffic.

Thanks for the awesome inspiration and keep the huffy pics coming i dig seeing all these different pics of what they look like and looked like. The only way to really make mine special is to research it as much as possible.

my first digit is a 5

so i am assuming 1955, is there anything else that you can learn about your bike from the serial number?
