My Huffy is done...

The frame, stem and seatpost are C&V. The rest is thoroughly modern, but still worth showing off here I think.




I got this frame in a trade from user Fast505 for a great but too big for me frame. None of the parts match, but it rides great and fits great. I think I might be in love.

I think it's beautiful.

I never thought I'd say that about a Huffy!

Keep the thread!

That's a nice ride! What saddle do you have on there? Is that a 501 or 531 reynolds sticker I see?

I have the same frame, only mine's been powdercoated, and they are indeed sweet-riding. Should be 531 main tubes.

Very nice! Looks like the love child of a Bianchi and Centurion Iron Man.

Striking bike!

The saddle is the E3 Form from Performance. I know it's sacrilege, but I find it more comfortable than my b17 and the price is right.

It's got 531 frame tubes.

Nicely done. What's the rear derailleur? I like the lines of it.

I might have to try one of those saddles.
