Yes, ther WAS once a Team Huffy. I can assure you that those bikes were NOT the piles of cr@p which they used to make in Celina, Ohio.

Before huffy was huffy, werent they known has Huffman? (or something on thoes lines...)
IIRC Huffman (pre-huffy) bikes were top quality, however very few were produced. Anyone have info on this? Maybe its time for me to do some homework

First time contributor: There is a very good article in the History section of "First Flight Bikes" regarding the Davis/Dayton/Huffman/Huffy connection. The existance of this article was brought to my attention by David Coulon Burns (dcb1995) after looking at a picture of my wifes 1949 Dayton. The URL for "First Flight is:
