Anyone have any thoughts on the huffy newport? I'm considering using this as a "Low-end" cruiser for customers. I haven't seen any threads about the huffy newport so I guess I'd just like to know what you guys think. Also, I'd like to know if you guys see problems with the seven gears in the back staying there. Currently the shifter is on the right side so it would not be a good idea to keep it there I'd imagine. Is it possible to just flip it over and use the shifter o the left side of the handlebars?
the main reason I want to use it as a "cheap" version is because it already comes with front and rear brake + fenders (those are important for rain days) Plus the white version would look sexi!!! I would make one of biknuts fuel tanks but white or black for contrast (or green in the one case)
Opinions? Foreseen difficulties? I'm already well awayre of some of the crappier welds on some of these huffies, but no worries I used to work in the aerospace industry and I can tell when a weld is solid or not.
Thanks for any info!!
