Oooooo... a dual-suspension! :) They're great until you try hillclimbs. But they're absolutely wonderful for downhill!

How did you know what I have :eek:

Edit: I hate going up hill when my rear suspension is all the way up... its like 1000x more work than when it is toned down, but then you lose the point of it!! Agh!

Huffy! LOL!

One of my favorite sayings from back when I used to wrench on bikes was:

If Huffy made an airplane, would you fly in it?

Nice ride Brak.

Man my friend used to have a huffy (but then he got a trek 4900 as well) and that thing was like REALLY heavy.. it was small too.. I bet it was made out of SS...
I used to have a huffy from like '89 and well, that was painful..

Yes that definately looks nice. Really dig the disk brakes.
It looked as if it has a really short wheelbase though.Made for a short guy.
I prefer a bit longer frame , but I guess thats because I am a bit taller guy.
