Huffy bikes are the # 3 bike in America and still in business. It will handle the abuse
To tell you the truth I am a car guy and this is another hobby
And nobody wants an opinion from a guy who is ridiculous and a moron and you did not answer my question!!!
CJaguar,
If a Huffy has sentimental value, then who are we to judge? I have a Royce Union I keep around for personal reasons as well, as a reminder of where I started, both physically and also because when I resumed riding for health reasons, my grandfather, who passed away bought it for me because he wanted to encourage me to ride.
Huffy does have an extensive database on their bikes and the Gila was likely made by Pacific for Huffy. I'm guessing it's around 10-12 years old, maybe less?
By the way, I'm one of those "nuts that hangs in C&V"
Here's SOME info on Huffy Serial Numbers

Here's a general Huffy Owners Manual
