NEXUS 3 SPEED HUFFY AT WAL-MART

[Rat Rod]

Was at WM this afternoon and swung by the bike department to see what new and exciting things were on display. :lol:

This Huffy Regatta Cruiser caught my eye because of the Nexus 3 speed hub out back. The wheels were pretty beefy looking too...maybe 2.125s.

The tires were 26 x 2.35 and looked pretty fat on those wider rims. Bike came with panniers and some funky looking handlebars.

Just need to wait until they drop the price down on these. :lol:

I couldn't afford it but I like it and want one, it's been in your old Walmart bikes thread.

I was looking at that same bike last night at the local wallie world I thought it was marked here for $149 I'll have to look again

 

[LarzBahrs]

Id buy that just for the parts. Huffy needs to own up and just move back to ohio :lol: :lol: :lol:

about the best price I've found on a Nexus 3 speed wheel set is around $150 = 25 for shipping. $199 for the whole bike looks like a steal to me! Of course, don't forget the sales tax.....

I agree I've got 1 of the last good Huffies head badge says Dayton Ohio

I'm loving those handlebars!If you go to Academy Sports, they have the same handlebars, but in black, on the Huffy Sentinel.

 

[Rat Rod]

Are they designed that way for a reason?

 

[StepChld]

Are they designed that way for a reason?

Yes, for the cool factor. :wink:

 

[Sinner4]

I had a Mongoose Paver 7 speed with the same bars.

 

[Rat Rod]

They are cool, but they look like they were designed for a specific purpose...like for some special rack or basket attachment.

 

[Sinner4]

Im thinking a new Generation of Bars. Who wants to copy old stuff. Oh wait, old stuff is en vogue again.

 

[user 135]

My dad has a Trek Hybrid with similar bars for accessories. But I have never seen them to buy. Silly if you ask me.

or maybe they are trying to imitate the Jones Loop Bar. http://www.jonesbikes.com/vmchk/Handleb ... y.tpl.html

Definitely worth the money, with a 3-piece crank and panniers, even!

 

[CRASH]

I thought 3-piece cranks were scorned by this group? Not the case?

Ive see a few 3 piece crank conversions done on the vintage bikes.

The only thing scorned around here is bad attitudes and inflated egos. :lol:

I mentioned this in the other thread, but I'll say it here too, it's unfortunate that they had to attach the Huffy name to so many parts in a way that cannot be removed. "Huffy" is embossed into the grips, embroidered into the good looking seat, and if I remember correctly, it is also embossed into the pedals, and stamped into the rear rack and I think the chain guard. Still a good deal, but would be better if not for that. I think the tires might even say Huffy on them.
