Road tunes from 1955

Before Huffy became Dynacrappy, they built some pretty terrific bikes. Of course, this was the paleolithic period. Snakebite pointed us in the direction of this beauty -- we like the radio, but we lurve the paint job and the rocketlight.




And if we could wave a magic wand and turn every miniature, scrotal saddlebag into handlebar tassles, we'd do it in a heartbeat. It would be like waking up in a world where every goiter was magically replaced by nipple pasties!

Speaking of which, the boing boing article that shows off this beauty mentions something interesting:


Huffy later made strap-on plastic models for other bike models, but they just aren't the same.

That's not the first time we've heard this rumor about some sort of sex-toy bike accessory, but surely it is a myth. Besides, our parental filtering won't allow us to research the subject any further.
