How many Huffys you know of that sell for $270 new?

I think this is the last time Huffy's were any good.

In the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, United States athletes riding Serotta-built bicycles racing under the Huffy name won two gold, two silver, and one bronze medal. A technical development center housed in the Huffy Corporate Offices in Dayton, Ohio was formed to research and create next-generation carbon fiber road and time trial bicycles. It was led by Mike Melton and Steve Bishop, two legendary custom bicycle builders. Sponsorship of world class and professional cyclists was only partially effective, as famous teams and riders, such as Greg LeMond and the 7-Eleven team used the Huffy sponsorship for financial support while openly maligning the company and even using different bicycles for competition while sponsored by Huffy. The subsequent fallout in the cycling community was devastating to Huffy, but not surprising considering the nature of the athletes involved. Huffy spent $500,000 to be named the Official Bicycle of the 1996 World Cycling Championships, held in Colorado Springs, the only time the World Championships has been held in the United States

I find it funny when people list something about a bike that is not correct. Either they don't know or they are trying to make a fast buck. I know you couldn't sell a house that way.

Huffy sponsored them, but they weren't Huffy bikes! haha

I looked at the Walmart website and the most expensive Huffy is $165, and it's a cruiser.

On that note, I was given a Huffy Good Vibrations last night... anyone wanna buy? $300.

Only if he fixes the "poped tier" :lol: He did say price negotiable, If he'd drop a zero I'd take a look at it.

it'd probaly be worth more if the pope had blessed more than just the back tire.

Is that in Pesos? :? Seriously, a Franklin and a Jackson, brand new at a sporting good store, with air in both tires, and not on sale either. Knock off the Jackson if in stock at X-mart. :roll:

Was this a serious question on if you should buy it? It seems like you posted this to maybe just make fun of the guy?
I would ride that bike.

Stay AWESOME!

Sure I would ride it too, but not for twice retail. Yes, this was only to make fun of the uneducated seller.

Weeeeelllll.... I found one last week-end at the thrift store for $10.00 and mine has front suspension.

(course I had to straighten the slightly taco'd rear rim)

You had me worried there for a second, I thought you were actually considering buying that thing! :shock:
