Jaymz:
I have a bit of a soft spot for these american POS

1985 Huffy Pro Racing 50, weighs next to nothing, shimano coaster brake all original when i bought it

bought from ebay for £12 and looked like this



arrived with me like this



currently looks like this



Stil has original sticker from the manufacturer


It's sat at the moment waiting for me to put on a sweet set of KKT AMX pedals in gold a longer crank, layback seat post, mushroom grips, and a set of pads, will post new pics on completion

in her finished state




Mid/late 90's Huffy, model unknown, interesting frame made me buy it, frame made from scaffold poles i swear but still lighter than my M80, currently has upgraded tektro brakes and chrome wellgo 1/2 pedals and a vader pink saddle, along with repro mushroom grips

this is how it arrived with me


this is it now as my gf's daily rider


2003 M80 Cory 'Nasty' Nastazio Signature Edition Pro

My dirt track rider, takes a good beating and gets back up and asks for more

cromo frame, tektro brakes, blank saddle, stolen bar ends, snafu pedals

how it arrived with me


and how it stands today, a little grubby i know



And my Raleigh Wildcat

I wanted a burner, but got a wildcat instead!! Some mock the little wildcat, but with its flexy mags and odd top tube angle, i think it has potential

this is how i bought it [i'd already stripped the plastic from it and forgot to take pics] this is how it looked. Lord knows what the previous owner was thinking with at Karin seatpost and selle royat seat! although it is damn comft




First mods

White wall tyres, white dia comp copy levers and white cables. Also found in my parts box an old polygon brake set in black and a generic one in black too, so they went on to replace the chrome ones. Changed the grips to my original 1985 ones from my huffy as i had to cut the old ones off to get the brake lever off. and added a set of dice valve caps. and cut most of the bracket off the back



waiting on my SR stem and bars from a Raleigh Styler, white chain and pedals

and here she is looking all sultry on the skate park
