Agree totally. When I bought my road bike a steel frame Diamondback was the last cut. If I had been a racer it would have won. Wonderfully responsive, too responsive for the kind of riding I did. But if I had 2 bikes it would be my hammerfest bike.

This again? 
When Huffy Corporation wanted to Promote their Brand, they sponsored a pro race team . the frames were hand made by a custom Builder
then Painted with the Huffy Brand Name On the tubes , the only thing really 'Huffy' was the Money Paid out of their Advertising Budget.

Paradoxically.. I own Schwinns, Diamondbacks... etc.. that all predate their buyouts, most of these bikes new were in a higher premium price bracket than what most modern roadies ride new.. and a bike I might do unspeakable things for actually happens to be badged as a Huffy.

I know there's plenty of Huffy haters and uppity road bikers out there. None brave enough to post their real thoughts on this thread though... Haha!

You got me on that one. Haha! THAT IS some serious irony. However, I'll awkwardly admit that I did try to look up facetious in the dictionary before posting that. My misspelling was so off base that I couldn't find it so I finally said screw it.

Phil ... yes -- could be, could be! Probably too much to expect the OP to get it, and not only because he (?) is from away; most of us north of the 49th should have no difficulty.
