"Well, there were the Huffy frames that The 7-11 team rode for a couple of years. I wouldn't mind one of those, so anyone who wouldn't be caught dead on one of those can send it to me."

See.. Huffys had "pedigree" and breeding too! But sorry, the very names Huffy, Murray et. al. just conjure up freckle-faced boys with dunagrees with the cuffs rolled up, high top Keds and striped red and white teeshirts. The kind of bikes they sold next to the fertilizer spreaders. It's just TOO much to consider riding a high end machine with that name on it! I went to a prolonged funk when my Raleigh dealer told me Huffy, of all people, bought out Raleigh in the USA. It was like the anti-Christ signing a lease on St. Peters.

Next you'll tell me Huffy made Reg Harris's bikes....
