Another Huffy Thread ( Parkridge )
 

I have been looking for a cheap one for my girl and my buddy has this bike. Its in good shape, 3 speed rear hub etc. It was US made.

Never seen another model like.

That's one of those uncommon legitimately nice looking Huffy's.
Good catch, I'd say. Just make sure it's well adjusted.

On this recent spate of Huffy threads: I spent my time in the business always believing that Huffy made nothing but low end catalog (big box didn't exist yet) store crap. OK, high end compared to Rollfast, Iverson, etc., but still crap.

Never realized they made a few interesting bikes, too.

That looks really nice. The shimano 333 hubs are really easy to set up too. Just put it in 2nd gear and adjust the cable tension until the little 2 is centered in the indicator on the rear axle.

This bike would look awesome with a brown Brooks sprung leather saddle on it. And, those reflectors would have to go.

Pretty mixte! Chainguard, full fenders, attractive colors! I grew up riding a Royce Union with a 333 hub, and everything I knew about hubs, I learned from working on that one. It's as mkeller234 said.

The Alloy stem point to nice (for a huffy). Check the wheels to see if they were made by Araya, or some other decent brand. I've found the in house wheels by Huffy to be ridiculously flimsy, but they did source wheels from japanese companies too.... If they have no markings just check to make sure they're true and not super wobbly (well check anyway even if they are marked).

Otherwise just make sure the hub is adjusted and oiled properly, the cables are oiled, and the bearings are greased, and you should be set.
