nice base, watch out for the fender tabs. Take it from someone who know personally, it is not fun unintetionally flying through the air.

Keep us updated with some pics. Im curious to see what you do with your cranbrook.

I recomend Re-greasing the front/rear bearings. Walmarts grease it just sloped it there, if ya know what i mean.

Good Luck

OSCS: All theise huffeys seem to be different components. You will need to get a dial cailliper and mesure your bike to be sure. and my down tube was oval not true round!


I will re grease for sure. Seems that King's does not have my engine kit so I will take this opertunity to do biz with Pirate Cycles.

Well I have spent $512.32 so far on parts and upgrades that I want . So far all I have is a cranbrook in my livingroom and a kneejerk response every time I hear the UPS truck! I think this week off ( starts Thursday ) will be when stuff starts to arrive. Woo hoo!

well I have laped the head and cylinder and polished the combustion chamber on the head and the intake and exaust port. no major metal removed (yet). My jet came with 2 head gaskets on! taking one away may raise my compression all I want. waiting on parts from manic mechanic (takes a while to make this stuff) then I will put it all togather!
