Removing the ugly Huffy graphics improves the look of the bike signifcantly. I added block pedals from my pile stash (normally $5-$10 and much stronger than the stock plastic pedals) and the Cloud 9 saddle from my 3 speed. I'm going to ride with one of my friends this weekend and I'll take more detailed pictures then.
Cost of the saddle I put on this bike: About $30. Cost of the bike it's now bolted to: About $30. Then again, I've already used this seat longer than this bike is supposed to last.
That's a very nice looking bike. I am very jealous of the fixed fork. I wish mines was fixed. Oh well...maybe some day i will swap it..
The saddle looks very comfy. Is this a MTB or commute bike? I agree on the stickers...it's just makes it look cheesy. Once you remove the stickers, it becomes more like your custom bike
One thing i learned, the DSB bikes are not really meant for new riders. It will just frustrate them and eventually discourage them from riding. Even though the DSP bikes have it's quirks, but you can fix it easily if you have the tools or know what you are doing. My bike would easily perform as a $250-$300 LBS bike would, but the amount of work and time i put in overhauling it, that's about the price I would be willing to sell it for (But i didn't buy it to sell it..haha ).
Happy Ridin!
