Huffy? This is why I did say maybe, because I did know that their name did appear on some Olympic frames. The question is, Are they to really be considered Huffys? If Richard built frames for Murray, would they be considered Murrys or a Sach? Several years ago there was a fellow that came to our resort that worked for Huffy out of Ohio. He did have with him a Huffy, if you could call it that and he did, road bike. The frame was a beautiful piece of work. At this time I forget who built the frame, but I believe it was a well known American frame builder. The fellow was very proud of his Huffy. I saw it as a nice bike with Huffy decals.

The question I have at this time: would the Huffy decals decrease or increase or not effect the value of the bike? Any thought on this?

BTW, there was a Columbia bike on ebay just a while ago that went up for auction twice that couldn't fetch a decent price although the frame was built by a respected frame builder. I actually bid on the bike, but held my bid rather low.

Could you imagine if Confente had built a few bikes under the Sears name?
