It always stumped me why Huffy would sponsor a pro bike team... Because marketing executives sometimes have their heads up their ass? |

There's a guy I've seen on Mt. Diablo a lot recently with a 7-Eleven "Huffy" in perfect condition - he gets a lot of "knowing nods" but he never sticks around to talk. It always stumped me why Huffy would sponsor a pro bike team since I'm sure no real cycling fans would buy one thinking it was hot stuff. Huffy has always had aspirations in the high-end bicycle market. They just never had any success. Back in the 1960's, Huffy imported Carlton Handmade Cycles from Britain, which was one of the largest custom builders in the UK at the time, having just been bought by Raleigh. These were high quality 531 bikes with British, French, and Italian parts. Carlton Cycles, ridden by the TI-Raleigh Cycling Team, won the tour de france team standings in 1978, riding Raleigh Team Pros, which were full super-record bikes made by Carlton in Workshop (or Ilkeston) England. - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |
