PLEASE don't "ban" me from the site. But this is my all time FAVORITE bike, the one I use the most. A Puch "Classic", that I bought a few years ago for $20. Road bike bars are to low for my taste, so I changed the bars, stem, and brake handles and cables. Also put an old Brooks "vinyl" seat. This bike is sooooo comfortable and fast (fast enough for me).
Bought this Huffy "Venice" a few years back, for my wife. Pedal forward, semi recumbent, LOADED with design flaws. Bars were way to low and to far forward, changed them, the "little" bars on the Puch came from this bike. Back rest was way to far back, (moved forward and welded in place). And had 36t chain ring, even with a six speed cassette it was slow. Now has a 54t Shimano Tiagra. These bikes show up once in a while for $50 (I paid $100 NIB, 3 years ago)....With a few mods they're neat little bikes!
