Love it. All aside, that's a great looking ride.

Thanks all...I know it's not the fanciest or most impressive build, but I'm really thrilled with how it turned out. It's no Serotta, and I did go budget build in several areas...but it sure doesn't feel like a budget build when it's moving.
I'm really surprised at how natural the Huffy stickers look on it. If I can make people argue over titanium Huffys, so much the better!

Oh the Serotta/Huffy is going on my xmas list now. I've always wanted a Serotta and a Huffy Branded one would be awesome.
Aaron nice work! - How you liking those command shifters so far? Are they indexing properly with the Shimano Cassette or are you running them in "less indexing" mode?

I would've just cleaned it up and then gotten the tube valves lined up in the rims. I think the rear stays are supposed to be bent like that, so that's a solid Huffy frame.

Maybe he didn't follow the entire thread and thinks it is a real Wally World Huffy.
