from Topeka, KS, USA Date Reviewed: February 7, 2010 Strengths: A Huffy Eschelon 18 Speed, I paid nothing for my Huffy, but spent around 50 to 75 dollars to fix, which was a waste considering the sh@@@y bike shop the Recycler in Lawrence, KS. It has a solid frame and is made in the USA (strenghtness or weakness?). Weaknesses: The brakes were deadly to rely on. Whether on the trail or on the road this bike tried to kill me. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Noth Lawrence MTB Trail Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Giant Rincon (with God-awful cantilever brakes) also tried to kill me, Specialized (a little newer and better) with V-brakes. My most reliable hard-tail and another that I don't get to ride often. Bike Setup: The Huffy is pretty much stock, I was a newby and paid some jerk to fix it up in Lawrence (called The Recycler) they made my already bad rims worse.

from Sarcoxie Date Reviewed: June 16, 2005 Strengths: Tough frame Somewhat light for an all steel bike Weaknesses: No suspension Bad shifters Weak cranks Stem angle Cheap Tires Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Devil's Den Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: Wally World in 1996 Similar Products Used: Trek 6000 (Really no comparison, but it is another mtn. bike) Bike Setup: Stock, except for my sudden urge to update the bike a little! I just put a new UNO stem and new Tectro V-brakes on it. Not too long after I bought it way back when I had to put new rims on it due to the beating I put on the stock junky ones. I have also put on my Trek's old Botrager tires, which improve the traction a ton.

from Austin Date Reviewed: February 6, 2002 Strengths: Frame, rims, paint, styling. Weaknesses: Rear gear cassette broke a while back which I left broken longer than I needed to due to the fact that I inherited a nice used Diamondback Apex. I guess thats more of a strength in that it allowed me to get a real bike. Also, there is a popping sound which comes from the crank. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: Wally World Similar Products Used: Walmart or Toy R Us junk bikes, DB Apex, 2001 Raleigh M60 Bike Setup: Stock other than a new rear cassette and aztec brake pads which work really good in the wet.

from Springfield NH Date Reviewed: August 19, 2001 Strengths: Wow plastic bashguard really works, I never knew a rockring should be weaker than what it protecs (chainrings. At fifty pounds it is good at hitting things, though the tinfoil frame isn't very strong. Great Huffy Parts Dont brake (as long as you don't ride it) Handle bars slip up and down for on the trail adustments. The fake suspension is really ridgid. Plus many other great things about this bike. Weaknesses: the "NOT TO BE USE OFF ROAD" sticker on the back of the bike sums it all up. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any one Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: Walmart Similar Products Used: Gt I-drive team, Gary Fisher Sugar1, K2 Razorback, Trek Fuel 100, uhhhh well no,I guess nothing compairs to the Huffy Bike Setup: various plastic parts
