I like your attitude of the cup half full. That bike can be ridden many, many miles in comfort once properly fitted and tuned up. They really are not all bad, just mostly looked down upon by bike snobs, but for the rest of the USA it was cheap transportation to school or work or around the block. Huffy served a real purpose for a whole lot of folks.
Now, there is a Huffy branded bike that is a true collectable. Has something to do with the USA cycling team.
Anyone notice the model in the video had a tough time stopping the bike at the balloon?
