88 Huffy Vortex

Picked this up this morning. If I had this bike on a bike rack mounted to a DeLorean, you couldn't stop me!

Freaking love it! What's up with the seat post? Possibly bent or a lay back pointing the wrong way? Sweet find!

What's up with the seat post?

I feel a little bad I used the 'bent seat post' as a bargaining point only to see that it may be stock. Just turned around the wrong way maybe? I couldnt pass on this one even if I am too big...too big by far to ever ride it.

*found these online for reference. One is from RRBs*

These bikes were a total sign of the times when they were produced. Huffy made so many models of bikes off of the same frame. I wouldn't be able to pass that one up either! What are your plans for it?

What are your plans for it?

Clean it. Take a few photos. Sell it. I'd love to ride it but like I said, to big. So I'll let it go.

Cool! Take some pics when it's all cleaned up.

Wow I remember those, that was well taken care of. around where I lived all the kids that had them, usually stripped all the plastics off of them once one piece got broke

This, and the Sonic 6 were the two coolest Huffy badged bikes at this time, the Dirt Thrower and Western Auto Edition Darrell Waltrip bike come in close!

Too bad you're not local!
