What's even crappier than a huffy? A Firenze? Wot about an STX-RC - Firenze? Got wheels, cranks, derailleurs... Or better, a Deore XT (R?) Firenze?
Thoughts?
as it sits
I don't think this is crappier than a Huffy. If you squint, it looks like a regular 80s mountain bike. The biggest things that scream low-quality about it are the components like the cottered double crank, and if you replace those, then the joke is completely lost.
There has to be some undeniable plasticy crapulence to it.
And the joke would also suffer with STX-RC, a fine mid-tier "budget racer" group. The joke was Super Record on a Huffy, so for a mountain bike it'd have to be XTR on a Magna or Kooka rasta cranks on a Murray.
