Huffy is owned by the Chinese according to online info. In 2004 it was turned over to its Chinese creditors in bankruptcy court. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffy Schwinn is one of the many Pacific Cycle brands. Their could be some made in the same factory but I doubt on the same line...

Are the tires 26"? I have been assuming the 27.5" is part of the messed up Mongoose mountain bike titling.

Yes WalMart's site is setup a little bit like a ecommerce marketplace somewhat like Amazon. When using WalMart's site you have to make sure under the price of the item it says "Sold By Walmart" or something to that effect. If it says Wayfair or any other company then it will come from that...

True but WD40 is not a factor for me because I don't use it to try and free up seized parts or a lubricant period. Others might but not me.

I'm a history enthusiast and therefore I have encountered the J.C. Higgins brand many times in my life. It was a Sears brand for a long time. Some J.C. Higgins history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._C._Higgins I first learned about this Sears brand when I was a kid and received a J.C...

Congrats on the finds, $20 for a Cranbrook in that condition is very reasonable. Can't beat the price of the women's mountain bike.

I can't help with the value or with who made it for Sears to be sold as one of their JC Higgins line. But I can say WOW! I absolutely love this model Higgins! Usually I see the woman's versions.

I was really happy to read that the pin and spring came out in good shape. Thanks for sharing the vegetable oil and acetone mix. That is a new one to me and I bet it will come in handy someday.

Thanks for posting this one. Looks like Wallyworld has the title wrong on the website. Noticed it says 27.5" Mountain Bike. At a quick glance it looks like the other specs are correct for the cruiser.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Some of them do look interesting. In my experiences with new Walmart items is if a item is to be sold in store it usually shows up in the stores before the website, for some reason. Sometimes items can take over a month to get added to the website. Another example of...

I agree but maybe the name fits because of the last photo with the guy getting air on one. The bottom of his pants seem to be in contact with the rear fat tire. So maybe ripper was a logical choice?

That's the post. From the TV show and info online it has a lot to do and see. There are various businesses in the caverns as well. I don't live that far from Louisville but due to health problems I doubt I will ever make it there.

I first learned about the Louisville underground cavern system with bike park on the show Kentucky Life via the Kentucky PBS channel. There is also a member here that is building a bike to ride it but I can't remember where his post is nor find it now. Anyhow I found this article on Yahoo the...

Is that duct tape I see for your derailleur cable guide?:D

This has probably been posted before. I learned about this old video because TCM played the last instalment of it early this morning. Looks like the whole video is on YouTube.

Glad to hear you found a aluminium replacement frame. Look forward to pics when you get around to it.

Even though I am not in the market for this or any other bike anytime soon I still really appreciate the first hand report on one of these. I posted a link to this model and some other new Walmart bikes in the new to Walmart thread sometime last year. Just going by the stock photo I liked some...

Great buy and it looks really awesome after all the work you did to it. Those whitewall tires really pop on that bike IMO.

Agreed, the fenders look great on it.

Buy it through their website and either choose free ship to store or free ship to home. The ship to store tends to be safer from rough handling and damage but you will have to pick it up from the local store you choose it to be sent to. Ship to home is really risky for damage because of the way...
