Nope. The "NAS" number has changed but the same old bolt is still

NAS-

That conveniently ignores the fact that a 1/4"-28 screw isn't an M6x1.0 screw. There is no metric "internal wrenching bolt" so there's no such bolt on a recently manufactured bicycle (even a pretend bicycle like a Huffy).

Don't be dissin my bike. :-)

For the price, Huffy makes a fine bike.

I've also had a fine Raleigh 3 speed that I logged thousands of miles with.

You just don't understand, do you? After all if you aren't riding a
$3,000 bicycle and wearing at least $200 of special bicycling clothes
and, of course, the $200 shoes, you just ain't to be noticed.

A Huffy? Just stick some masking tape over the decals and rename it
something like a "SUPER PESO LEGGERO LAMBREHINI" and tell people that
the 5 speed gears are to build a super lightweight bike and you can
join right in the game :-)
