Huffy owners unite! You have nothing too loose but your chains.
When I was a kid in the mid 60s, you could buy 51-54 Chevrolets for about $15 each and they were worth every penny. For the price of a new Huffy, you could buy three cars.
Actually, the $15 ones in running condition were not that common, but you could buy them in pretty good working order for $50 all day long. Problem was affording the liability insurance.

Any huffy owners active?
Looking Seriously into getting a huffy cranbrook.
I want to replace the handlebars with BMX style bars.
Any one know if the mouth on the bracket/clamp will open up enough to slide the bars in or will I need to get a bmx mount?
Pictures look like it might pry open far enough.
I am so ready to replace this mongoose status 2.2
Thank you
Jim

I would suggest looking at & perhaps riding one of today's Huffys before passing judgment on them. Many of the 'expensive' brands are made in China these days too. I have seen some very nice bikes made in China. Some of the brands I've seen that are made in China - Raleigh, Specialist, & Huffy just to name a few.

I have a 44 tooth BMX ring on black/blue bike which is better than the larger stock 48 tooth, but the chrome Huffy has a 38 tooth gear which makes for easy pedaling and hills are no problem. Only downfall of the small ring is top speed is limited to like 12 mph, but it's a cruiser and I am fine with that.

Time for a Revival;
USA made Huffy Tulsa. I added the aluminum wheels to make it less heavy, not light. Smooth riding bike that I sold to a delivery guy

Not sure if this was a US bike or Chinese.I threw a suspension fork from my pile o parts on it and gave it to a refugee kid from Ukraine when the war had started.

I really like how this one came out. Aluminum wheels, comfy seat and Schwalb Marathon tires make a great NYC bike

This is a Huffy Main Street Euro style City Bike. Made in China but pretty nice. It is now helping a recent immigrant earn a living with Uber eats

I'm always on the lookout for one of those yellow & brown 10-speed Huffy Scouts from the 70s. Barely different than the K-mart-branded Huffy I had back then, but you could tell that whoever assembled them for store display took more pride in the job.
