Huffy Joins the Commute Bike Revolution

Chainguard, fenders, and rack are standard on the $200 Magellan.

I saw it at Sears ($250) and it wasn't as bad as you'd expect a Huffy to
be. It's not nearly as heavy as the shipping weight indicates. I think
it was well under 30 pounds.

Paging Ron Hardin - your new bicycle is here.

The Danes would charge that much for the minimalist chain guard alone!

Huffy pages him, you don't have to.

Seriously though, if it didn't say Huffy on it you might not know. Gone
is the one piece crank. They have an adjustable height/reach stem,
something that's rare to find even on higher end bicycles these days.
They have a real chain guard around the triple crank set, something
that's extremely rare. Full fenders, and a rear rack.

You missed the Schwinn Excursion with a SA3 for $25 mo

And for $125 in chump change you can get a Mongoose "Paver" to run
around the neighborhood.

There's one used daily in my neighborhood. If I was in NYC or SF
locking on the street, beats wasting time scrounging. Decent looking
bike, if not flashy. I thought it was some sort of low end ;$400
hipster thing.

That would be for the visiting Swedes to buy.
