Well I found an old 90s Huffy Santa Fe in a junk shop a while back. Complete with Kenda Flames. I was inspired by this:
A while back I had make dropout extensions to stretch the bike out a bit.
Today I decided to paint the frame, tank and fenders. I'll be getting a much larger tank once my paycheck comes but for now this will have to do. I had already packed the crank with grease so I just duct-taped it up to paint over it. Interestingly enough, when I got the bike it still had a good amount of grease on it. Not sure if that was from factory or the previous owner taking care of it but anyways, they don't make em like they used to. This bike weighs atleast a third more than my other el-cheapo modern walmart cranbrook
I'm not usually into light colored bikes but I figure it will atleast help with visibility and the original Monet Goyon looks pretty nice.
Things to do once I get paid-
-Get a bigger tank
-Disc Brakes
-Look around for a vintage headlamp
-Get some conduit to bend for a straight pipe style exhaust
In addition I'll probably be switching the front forks with springers if I can find some
