in Deep in the heart of..., Texas, United States - photo by FIVE8FIVE

1995 Huffy Metaloid...Rare BMX bike, less than 300 made from what I've read, also made from recycled aluminum cans, I believe...my wife snagged this for me for less than the price of a good cheeseburger.

Very cool. Kinda nice as it is if its running. Resto. would be cool as well. nice find.

Thanks, Buddy...It needs tubes and a chain, and it would ride ok...Thanks for the props! I'll probably do that, and just clean it up and leave it as is...survivor, ya know!

Dude, it's heavier than a 60's acid-trip, but I like rarities! Thanks, Buddy!

hahaha that made me laugh to be honest, I bet it look like an anchor.

I love that too, stuff that is not seen every day.

Do you plan in restoring it?

FIVE8FIVE (Nov 14, 2015 at 15:23)

I'm thinking about it, my wife says I should. That box thing on the down tube (?) is not a stock item, I think...there is a control box on the bars that has buttons...I think it made noises at one point...yeah, boat anchor for sure!

I saw it when we pulled-up to park, some old man was looking at it...I told my wife "that's a really rare one there" and she watched the old guy set it back down, and she snagged it for me...Thanks, Spencer!

This thing is cool!
Whats the big round thing in the middle for?

FIVE8FIVE (Nov 18, 2015 at 17:18)

Looks...it makes it look like a pivot, but no pivot there...I like these weird odd-balls... like this one,...
