My first post, and a swap meet find.
Hello, glad to find the forum, I have rediscovered riding after a 25 yr hiatus, and have begun cleaning up and riding some interesting old bikes. Here is a Huffy "SEA TRAILS" 3spd with all original parts and in remarkable shape, 22in seat tube, found at the local swap meet for $30, a bath, a new Shimano shifter and it's ready to go, right down to the orange cable covers!
I am working on a Bianchi "grizzly" that will be next. Thanks for looking

A couple years back I had a Sea Trails pass thru my hands. Same color as yours, too.
Seemed like a good recreational bike. The college kid I sold it to was going to use it to commute to school.
Enjoy!

People snub Huffys sometimes but I put quite a few miles on one when I first got back into riding. Wish I'd kept the chrome thumb shifters when I flipped it. I didn't realize how hard those would be to find.

Dave Stoller rode a Huffy in the Breaking Away TV series before he won a race and upgraded to something decent with Super Record. lol.
