Huffy Concours Professional
 
3 Attachment(s)
I've had this bike for over 20 years. I thought about selling it at our garage sale but don't know what it's worth. I did a google search and found one for sale on the internet for 200 dollars and it's not nearly as nice of condition as mine. Is there something special about this bike?

You found one for sale for $200 or one that sold for $200? Big difference.

I have one that I bought last November that I am in the process of fixing up. I snagged a pair of alloy wheels from a junker Fuji, bought a set of alloy handle bars with brake levers/hoods and a set of Suntour barcons pre-attached. The fork was bent and it has been replaced with a nice used chro-moly unit from the bike coop.

It road pretty well with the steel wheels and I am looking forward giving it a spin with the upgrades. The plan is to make it my daily commuter/campus bike. As much as I like the bike, I don't thnk it would sell for $200.00 with the upgrades, let alone with the stock setup.

Huffy. Well-represented in the active thread "Bikes you wish you had never sold".

It is certainly a cut above the Huffy boat anchors with which I am familiar!

Some of the Huffys, believe it or not, were made by Carlton, and are apparently very fine bikes, as I was informed the last time i snickered at the name "Huffy."

This could be one of them, I don't know...

There is an older thead about this model. If I remember someone indicated that it migh be a Motobecane.

Definately not actually made by "Huffy". They never made quality bike themselves. They only made cheap department store boat anchors. I remember Bicycling! magazine had a little blurb about this model way back when, but look as I might, I never saw one in the "flesh". I imagine this "Huffy" was probably from Taiwan, since I am sure they would have been too cheap to pay the extra $20 to have the bike made in Japan.
This model probably is a reasoable bicycle. $200? I doubt it would sell for $200, but you never know, no doubt it is quite rare, especially in an adult size like this unit.
