All your Ross are belong to us, too.

This is why it's a 'Huffy'

I know what you mean. A lot of bicycle company names are confusing. Take Giant Bicycle Company for example. I was thinking they make some large ass frame sizes, like a 66 cm or more. Nope, they top out at 60 like most other manufacturers. Probably should be called Normal Range of Bicycle Frame Sizes Bicycle Company instead. And then there's Schwinn. What's up with that? No one riding a Schwinn has schwonn anything in several decades.

If you don't like it you can leave on a Huffy.

If that's too quick for you you can leave in a minute and a Huffy.


With apologies to Groucho Marx

Ummm...that was Ignaz Schwinn's last name. Since he founded the company, I guess he got to name it after himself.

The same for Huffy, George P. Huffman.

Huffy and puffing on a too hard to pedal heavy POS bike.

Obviously! You may never have noticed, but that thing you commute on is actually two basketballs attached to a frame.

What do you mean POS bike? From the wiki article:


In the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, United States athletes riding Huffy labeled bicycles combined to win 2 gold, 2 silver, and 1 bronze medals.
Jeeze, I think even Dave Stoller won riding a Huffy bicycle.

Hmm, I guess you're right. I feel so schwilly now.

He picked the right name... who the heck would be caught dead riding an Ignaz! :p

There is a big difference between "Huffy Labeled Bicycle" and "Bicycle Actually Made in the Huffy Factory"

Huffy never touched the bikes that won those medals, except with a paintbrush.

I do not understand why Huffy is still in business, and other companies like Schwinn and Raleigh got moved to the side.

I can see one reason to buy a Huffy, and that is to spraypaint it white for use as a ghost bike (a memorial.) However, using one for riding is a totally different matter... but that's IMHO, of course.

I'm guessing his vertical leap is beyond all measure.

I'm not sure why Huffy really gets such a bad rap. So far as cheap crap goes, there's been a lot worse out there. Compare a Huffy to an AMF or an Iverson - and you'll realise why AMF and Iverson no longer make cheap bikes and Huffy does. I had one AMF where the frame tubes were barely welded together...
Also note, how many old Huffys (huffies? huffi?) you come across as compared old AMFs Murrays etc. - if that's any indication of their longevity (I have yet to have seen a single Murray in a thrift shop, despite that fact that they once were selling 23% of all bicycles sold in the U.S. - they are also now out of business)

braingel 03-07-07 11:25 PM

FWIW, here's my Huffy:D

ps...this picture was taken right after I finished putting it together...my saddle to bar drop is not that ridiculous.
