I'm thinking about checking out this bike on CL, to use as a winter beater:
http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/bik/4016877312.html
I'm aware that Huffys are what's classified as "junk" but another BF thread had mediocre things to say about the Elite Greg Lemond edition (see
http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-653941.html).
From that post, here's some info on the bike:
12 speed, 27" Alloy Wheels, Sport Touring Crown Fork, Alloy Handle Bars,
Alloy Seat Post, Alloy Kick Stand and Stem, 1010 Mild Steel Frame, Suntour
Stem Mounted Shifters, Hero Derailer, Polygon Alloy Side Pull Brakes, Quick
Release Front Wheel, Dual Brake Handles and a Sugino Crank.
It should have a 58cm frame; what I currently ride is 60 so 58'll do. The handlebars obviously aren't original.
Is this thing actually worth anything? Has anyone had one? Is it a decent ride? Suited for my purpose? Are those shifters friction or indexed? Any idea on weight? The front cassette doesn't seem too worn out; it still has some life in it, yeah? How's the Elite rank on the list of Huffy models?
