If I saw one like that at any store, I would immediately notify them to remove them from the shelf.
No the horn and flag (long white pole on the left rear) were add ons. The local WM's and the Super Kmart both carry this bike or one very similar to it. For whatever reason the Kmart one has a different name and chrome fenders. I did tell the store manager about the ones with the broken welds, but I am willing to bet that they are still on the rack. FWIW the plant has another slightly older fleet of Huffy Cranbrooks in black that are better built. I suspect that WM must have lowered the price point and the Chinese responded, with this being the end result. I have been riding and wrenching for over 35 years and this has got to be one of the cheapest built bicycles I have ever seen. Every year it seems they stoop to a new low...wonder what next year will bring?
