I've posted my commuter in the vintage MTB thread, but it fits here too!

Stopped by a disc golf course on my way into work. Practiced some putts and snapped a few pictures of my bike.

I was staring at this for a minute, trying to figure out what the heck you were thinking with brake lever placement, until I realized those weren't just bullhorn bars... lol

that said, get some bar end on those things before you take a core sample of somebody.

edit: oh, and how do you like those Nanos? Been eyeballing them for the TCX

Lovely pic! I don't get out to disc golf anymore, I should get back into it.

I played a course in NC once, it was the most beautiful course I'd ever been on. Lots of holes down grassy cleared-out alleys in the forest.

Is there really a bike called the "Huffy Mullet" or did you just add a decal?

Looks like you've made quite a bike out of a humble starting point. Did you have to drill to get caliper brakes instead of the original cantis?

noglider 03-18-15 11:47 AM

I'm not a fan of Huffys, but I like yours, [MENTION=376137]Johnny Mullet[/MENTION]. Good work.

This looks really nice. I Like! (although I would reposition the rear blinkie)

Thanks. The blinkie is usually clipped to my saddlebag, but since I was using a different pack, it ended up where you see it in the photo.

where in NC? my wife recently decided she wanted to play it and we went out bought some disks and then winter came but we hope to get outside again soon.


[MENTION=359043]AlTheKiller[/MENTION] that is a good way to spend the day off. ENjoy!!

I wish I could remember, it was probably in the mid-to-late 90's, I can't remember if it was while I was passing through Charlotte where a friend of mine worked for a bank, or if I was passing through the research triangle because my wife had gone to Duke.

It's a Huffy Thunder Ridge mountain bike. It started out like this..........

http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/...ps183fadf5.jpg

The "Mullet" sticker was added. It's my nickname because of my hairdo ;)

I have the same sticker on my beater bike I use around the shop which has the old components from the huffy befor the conversion..........

http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/...psqgcsatrn.jpg

It used to be a girl's bike..........

FYI another thread recently had a bike with a repositioned top tube...

Good job. I think you stayed very true to the Huffy spirit!

I'm guessing that didn't come from bikesdirect? How was the braking today?

It is really a nice bike. Keep the shiny side up. :-)

Love the ballons! Hey, what's that hiding behind the rear hub? Cause it almost looks like part of the bike.

Looks like a helmet used as a kick-stand!

Clever!

AlTheKiller 03-21-15 09:30 AM

Yup, my trusty giro savant helmet. And i kind of put the balloon tires on as a joke, so my bike would be instantly recognizable (minor bike theft is on the rise here, but they are mostly unintelligent drug users who would try to sell it back to you) but i ended up loving the ride. So much cushion, very stable, and still capable on the road. I was averaging 18mph on the part of that ride with no stops for a few miles, which isn't much slower than my normal speed on the drop bar bike with skinnier tires.

Yeah I still need to get the bars wrapped!!! I'm always worried I am going to impale some poor soul!

I have a single Nano on the front and a Specialized Fat Boy on the back. I am torn as to which tire I like more. I will say that the Nano has been AMAZING as far as handling, grip and control on and off the pavement. I would highly recommend those tires!

Ta!
