Hi.

Hello all,

I have recently purchased a bike and I have a few questions because I don't know anything about it. I have recently discovered a love for biking and I'm excited to learn as much as I can. I found a sky blue Huffy "Roustabout" on the side of the road for $15.00. I can't find any information as to what year, etc it is. Does anyone have any ideas?

My guess is it's worth $15 (not being snotty, although it may sound that way-- it's just a Huffy). We'd need photos to tell you anything about it, though.

A Huffy is good for a first bike.
If you damage it in anyway, it'll be no big deal.
After a while you'll want something better, and by then you'll know what you want.
Have fun riding.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

Bikes: to many to list

Bikes: Nishiki Nut! International, Pro, Olympic 12, Sport mixte, and others too numerous to mention.

Hi Mortie--where are the photos?
