I thought about putting upright bars on it actually, because I think it would be better for her, I just have to do it on the cheap as my wife is holding me to a budget. I also wanted to replace the cottered cranks but it all goes back to my budget. Don't get me started on color! My wife has a 1970s yellow Huffy scout. I fixed up a 58 Norman 3 speed and tried my hardest to convince her it was better, but she didn't want it because because it was blue. Oh well, she loves her yellow bike and I guess thats a good thing.
