The Garbage Picker

[Uncle Shish]

Pulled this old Huffy from the garbage and gave it new life.
3 speed Shimano Nexus rear wheels, fresh paint, tires, vintage chain guard ... really not much left from the donor bike.

Thanks! It's a fun ride & turns heads. Folks are always surprised when they hear it was in the garbage. Built this one for and with my 13 year old son, (12 at the time)

Thanks Bicycle Larry. I wonder if this should have been a thread in the custom section?

Thanks! I think it really makes the whole project. Without it, it would seem like nothing very special.

I see you're by Chicago. Have you ever gone into Cycle Smithy's? That place is amazing!
