Did you pick up any tubulars while you were there? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kenda-70...2751/300165904
For the record, I was joking when I suggested Huffy sourced their frame-building materials from HD. But now that I see this ^^^^^, all bets are off!

Sadly, not from Home Depot. I absolutely would have (just because), but their Super Domestique tires were not a 'super domestic' price. Found them for almost half. Fortunately, after I ordered them I read up and found that they were at least a decent tire lol
At the very least, I'm grateful for the misunderstanding on the meaning of the tire name, because I'm starting to get inspired for a tubing sticker for the bike.
'Super domestic guaranteed special mild gaspipe'

Also, I've been inspired by some of the 'faux' or parody tubing stickers. I've been trying to do research into what tubing supplier Huffy has used in the past to get their stuff. I mean, it has to come from somewhere. If I can find out, I'd like to design a tubing sticker to put on the bike. Guaranteed genuine special low carbon mild steel.
After all: the type of tubing used in that frame is commonly referred to as "gas pipe" - right?

Working in a shop from 82 to 89 the Huffy LaGrande and the Huffy Santa Fe were the most popular big box store 10 speeds of their time. They sold TONS of them and I worked on way to many!! LOL

"The older ones like this one use the slender tubes for balanced resilience, perfectly complementing any high-end, lightweight wheelset wearing good tubulars."

I like your idea. I work in the trades and work with gas pipe on a regular basis. Who'da thunk I'd be around it for leisure as well!

This thread is awesome. Those rear drops saved at least 80 grams each. Thin to win.
PS the Colnago kickstand would a decent replacement...

Alright y'all, I'm probably going to be looking for some new rings for the Campy crankset (is it a 'Record' crank? 'Super Record' crank? Did they even make a 'Super Record' crank?).
In any case, the rings probably aren't horrible but I've got plans. I need new or like new rings. Of course, only the best for the Huffy.
HOWEVER, I'm a little more open to alternative suggestions for wear parts. I don't mind something non-Campy if it looks beautiful and is new. NOS Campy is worth body parts
Unless you don't think I should be, and then I will be snobby and elite with my rings
Any good suggestions?
Here is what mine currently look like -

There's a part of this I really like. There's a part of this that scares me.
My 1986 Trek 400 Elance was like the 2nd lowest bike on the Trek hierarchy- one step above "entry level." But I think it's my most beautiful bike. It's decked out with all kinds of top/upper shelf kind of stuff. XC Pro, XC Comp, Superbe, Ofmega, Maillard 700... I got a perverse kick out of seeing a Superbe Pro with the 400 on the chain stay and sporting a Suntour dork disk.
