Title: My new race bike.
Post by: southern andy on January 23, 2008, 07:23 PM
Someone please tell me i've done ok here.  :LolLolLolLol:

I have been watching a few but this one looks soooooooooooooooooooooo nice. I didn't really have a lot to spend and i managed to get this within my budget.

Couldn't find too much info on the net or on here about the bike to be honest.

Anyone tell me any more about it and what do you guys really think ????

Cheers for any info

Yep i noticed that aswell, i'll change them to suit my riding style.

Cheers mate, i'm trying to find some positives out of buying a Huffy. Apparently they made quite a few bad bikes but this one looks the dogs nuts and i've been told the kinetics frame is a very good quality.

That bike was good enough for Stumpy, so will be good enough for you  :daumenhoch:

It's definitely one of the better bikes Huffy made.

I like That!
Great Bike for what you need it for i'm sure. I'd have put a bid in if i hadn't recently bought a new school ride.
You cant fault that price AT ALL.

Just arrived,Redline 2008 Bubba Harris Flight Pro XXL. Love it  :smitten:  

(Cost me another 80 quid on top of what you paid mind  ;)  )

whoops, sorry mate. More than a fiver though cause my one and only bid right at the end was just under £200 just to make sure i won the thing.

When i was watching it in the last five mins, there were two people outbidding each other, i assume one must of been you.

Have you checked out this bike....
