Huffy Windsprint
 
Im just getting into road cycling and have an about 20 year old Huffy Windsprint 12 speed and wondering what you guys would do?

Ride it, save up for a better bike.

I hope it does not have too much in common with the Aerowind.......
Most likely not a great bike, but maybe adequate just to get started with and learn how to operate and tinker with 12 speed road C&V mechanisms.... but if you already had extensive prior experience with other bikes of different types (MTB, BMX....), you might not want to bother with the Huffy and just look for a mid level model bike that will be lots more enjoyable to ride on the road.

If you're even average height, the chances are slim that any Huffy will position your body well for a useful workout.

At least with the similarly-heavy Schwinns, the frames came in a range of sizes, not to mention that the build was good-quality and thus durable.

But a Huffy can be a whole lot better than no bike at all. At least you can probably get in a little moderate exercise each day, IF the bike fits you.

Iv tuned it up to rather good condition and plan on saving up for a better bike.

Don't put much into the bike other than maybe some cheap cables a chain and maybe tires if needed. If you need those, get them at Walmart. Just enough to ride it for a little while. If you get serious about cycling you will probably want to upgrade when you can.
