Huffy 10-speed Refurb Challenge: Bottom Bracket and Crank



The crank came off easily enough and should clean up nicely with a brass wire wheel on a drill.

The bearings were well greased and don't show any wear.

Huffy 10-speed Refurb Challenge: Before


I know, I know, why bother, right? But I think it has potential for at least a commuter bike or a beater. The 22-inch frame sports a Huret front derailleur and a Skylark rear derailleur, plus a Shimano Via rear hub. The bent-and-re-straightened handlebars may get swapped out for a handlebar with bar end shifters. Both of the 26 x 1 3/8 tires should probably be replaced. And the saddle is too cushy for me so that's gone.

This is gonna be an uphill battle.

Giant Acapulco


The Giant Acapulco is a good entry level bike for the casual rider. A 21-speed mountain bike with an 18-inch steel frame, Shimano Acera X derailleurs, grip shifters, center-pull cantilever brakes, clip-on fenders, and kickstand. NFS.

Like new Kenda 26 x 1.95 tires - very low miles - both still have nubs.

 

Color: gold, black.
