Found this old huffy steel frame at a scrap yard. It was in fairly ruff shape...original wheels with coaster brake were trashed, no handlebars or saddle. I saw some potential in it and have been wanting to do sort of frankenstein klunker. So I added some decent Bontrager wheels and saddle, crowbar handlebar, and a ghetto Avid single digit 5 brake on back. future plans are to upgrade bottom bracket/crankset, pedals, fork (anyone have suggestions on a good rigid 1" threadless MTB fork or even 1" threadless suspension fork?), headset,....I will use the Truvativ adapter from American BB to Euro so that I can use a mountain BB and crankset. Let me know what you all think or suggestins...

Mocked up with 1 1/8" manitou suspension forks from the parts bin. Just need to bore out the 1" headset a few thousandths at work. More pics to be posted.
