this thing is a steel frame but feels light as aluminum...snagged it at the flea market yesterday for $25. It's a bit rough seat is about gone but it has potential IMO.

Does anyone know anything about this bike. It has a sticker on it says made of chrome-lite tube. It is so light I just wonder if it is sturdy enough for a kit? It has a 7 digit SN starts with HH410. Any idea what model this is? It has 26 inch mountain bike wheels...3 front gears and 5 back gears. It can gear way low and is smooth. I just need some new brake pads and one brake stay bolt (Bolt with hole in center to hold brake pad in place).

Probably a tange chromoly frame, so it will be plenty strong. Should be a straight forward build, unless there is not quite enough room for the carb in the triangle. That is solveable by modifying the intake manifold, and there are plenty of examples of that on this site.
