Re: 1981 Huffy Pro Lightning
I'm in the process of restoring a chromoly Pro Lightning like yours, nice work BTW. I'm pretty certain there were 5 Pro Lighting models manufactured and only one model was actually chromoly which has Aero tubing throughout & no kickstand. Frame is 4lbs 7oz.

Re: 1981 Huffy Pro Lightning
I love this bike I had one that I saved all my paper route money to buy. It was stolen with in 1 year at my own birthday party. Boy it still makes me sad thinking about it. Great build.

Re: 1981 Huffy Pro Lightning
i got looking at my pro lighting, i have a serial # on the head tube and a number on bottom bracket and there's some other stamp mark on bottom bracket also. does any one else have that on their bike.
mine has the kick stand mounted on the frame.

Re: 1981 Huffy Pro Lightning
I had one of these BITD and i must say they were far from cheap. I loved the F/F's tubing, even the seat post was tear drop shaped tubing. They were by no means cheap either, think the one i had was as much as any quality bike BITD. It cost about $300 if i'm not mistaking.
