BB serial # C82063 33943
HT serial # HC516615
Full Version: Name this Frame???
I have no idea on this one. Its got oval tubing like a TA but pretty sure its not a Skyway. Its got 2 sets of serials. One on BB and one on Headtube. Also has AB stamped on top of BB. The thing that stands out the most is the Oval seat tube. The post and clamp are custom for this frame as they are oval too. Any thoughts, comments?

I will name it BOB but it is a HUFFY PRO LIGHTNING......
Welcome aboard!!!!!By the way before you get upset at owning a HUFFY that is a very high end HUFFY not your typical department store junk from BITD.
Don't ever lose that seatpost!
I had one just like that. I tricked it out with white tuffs. DC 901 rear brake, forklifter stem. It came stock with a viscount aero seat. I bought it in 1983 then got jumped in October 1985 and it was gone.

My first Huffy (high end, mind you) at 32 years old. Was Huffy (or Bob) ever in kahoots with Raleigh? Someone showed me a pic of a Raleigh that had same brake bridge.
Name the frame?
How 'bout Fred?

It's real name is Rusty. Rusty Hufman.
RL lets go find those kids. We'll take my bike.
they came with araya's on them
I'm pretty sure Huffy farmed that frame out to Raleigh but don't quote me on it although I think I'm right. Maybe.
The geometry is actually rad but the tubing they used it really thin. If anyone could find a pic of this bike back in the day Id love to see it. Maybe get an idea for the decals if they ever had any. It looks like a prototype.
Thanks for the heads up on that thread Spicoli. That and these other replies answered more than I could of expected. And I got a to see a pic of it.
Mine kinda looked like that but was chrome and instead of Pro Lightning it said "Huffy Racing" on the downtube. My 83 did not come with Araya rims but my nephew's 84 did. They came with a high 44/13 ratio which made them nice for riding long distances.
I like that better, Huffy Racing. If I ever build it Ill make some custon stickers like that. Search is on for a matching fork.
pretty sure that huffy and raleigh were under the same ownership around that time.
i have seen the raleigh ones like that as well
Nice Lightnin'. Right about the seatpost, that's the only one you'll ever be able to use!
The brake bridge is similar to the old Powerlites...
