Indeed. But does anyone here have any on topic Huffys? On topic you say? Indeed... in the late 1960s Carlton actually made a range of very on topic, high quality lightweights for Huffy which were, sob!, sold as... Huffys! I remember my dad telling hell would freeze over before he bought me a Huffy, even one made in England. And even today, well.. I just wouldn't be caught dead riding a Huffy. Someone did.. there was even a Huffy "racing" jersey on eBay recently. There were also some lower end Huffy "racers" that were British built in the early '60s.. these may have been built by CWS.
