Bob White Bike

I had a spare motor so I decided to do a Huffy Cranbrook build with the intent of selling the result. Originally I was going to do an F4U Corsair theme (Airplane from Baa baa black sheep), but everyone who saw the Cranbrook in it's pristine condition said "Don't paint that!" So I went with a blue on black ("BoB") with "White" theme.

I took the time to reinforce the front fender, btw, and applied Locktite to various bits and pieces. I also swapped out the original handlebars and stem with a set I had lying around, added a rack, and put on some dual pivot brakes. It still has the coaster brake, but I don't trust those with a motorized bike.

Well, I don't trust coaster brakes ALONE with a motorized bike. As a rear brake in conjunction with a good front brake they're probably ok. I tend to add both front and rear brakes and leave to coaster as an "emergency backup".

Yep, that's me in Two Harbors, SB.

This bike is now listed on Craig's list. I still have the "Bomber bike" (the one in my logo) and another motor intended for a bike I hope to build this winter.
