    My first new bike was a Huffy stingray. I would ride 15 miles to West Covina from Claremont each day to visit sister. She would give me a ride back home. Huffy was heavy. But at 10 years old, I didn’t notice that much. Great bike!

    It cracks me up that you call the threaded bottom bracket "regular." In the US, we call that bb "European, " and we call the American bb regular. " Perspective is a wonderful thing.

    What a fun build. The finish looks pretty cool... especially with the mud. Sometimes it's nice to do something simple like this and not have to fuss with finicky brake and derailleur adjustments etc... The bb conversion went really smooth. Some frames there's stuff in the BB that gets i the way of those adapters and has to be filed down. The trails look fun also. In a future video will you be going over it with rust converter? lol Thanks for the shout out. Much appreciated and flattered to be mentioned in one of your vids.

    I just Did a 47 mile 3600 feet of climbing gravel race in the mountains of North Carolina on my 3 speed coaster brake Electra Super Deluxe BUT it does has and aluminum frame
    The 40++ MPH decents we’re really scary BUT I had just deep packed the coaster hub with red tacky grease and it actually improved and with caution did not overheat
    I Went with a 175 32 tooth from crank and 23 tooth hub which gave a reasonable low gear
    The 1-1/2 Schwalbe marathon tires were adequate
    The fenders our GREAT and contained the mud and splashes nicely

    I love the idea of the Hite Rite but don't like having to actuate the quick release while seated...seeing you appear to fumble with it validates my opinion.
