1977 Huffy Mono-Shock
Pulled out of a barn, slapped some 24's on it.
Craigslist find, pulled out of a barn. Steel wooled the gold spray bomb off and put some 24's on it along with new bars, stem and seat. This bike is smooth and fun to ride, I want to try it out at the dirt jumps.

Re: 1977 Huffy Mono-Shock
Interesting. So...the seat pivots at the rear when the suspension is loaded?
Looks pretty cool like that. I am surprised the rear 24 fit in the swingarm.

It's "hinged" behind the bottom bracket so the seat compresses down when loaded. The original seat/seatpost setup rides much better, it's not connected to the rear dropouts, it connects below the seatpost clamp.

Don't know about you guys, but I always threw chains when riding hard. The chain loosens when the suspension compresses.

Yeah, the chain does pop off when cranking too hard, need to customize a derailer.

Re: 1977 Huffy Mono-Shock
I had a Shimano SX 2 speed front sprocket with the matching front derailleur and rear chain tensioner on mine for a while. Helped alot, most of the time.
