During the bike boom back in the 1970s, all my friends were getting 10 speeds but I still only had my Huffy Sting Ray clone. I lived out in the country, so didn't have a bike shop nearby, but I had the Sears catalog to dream about what kind of bike to get. I had saved enough money to order one of the Puch made bikes for under $100. When I told my dad what I had in mind, he took me to a little shop that one of his co-workers ran as a side business. He sold me a used Kabuki for what I would have spent on the Sears bike. I don't remember the model. I sold it to a friend when I bought a Fuji a few years later. When I stumbled across a Super Speed a few years ago, I had to have it for nostalgia's sake. I have upgraded the wheels and tweaked the fit so, even though it's Hi-Ten tubing, it doesn't ride too bad. Last summer, I took it on a club ride and was surprised at the number of people who said they had one back in the day.
