• Mister4corner’s Bicentennial Huffy 10-Speed

    Our third Coluhuffrray of the day, and the second ’76er of the afternoon.  Yeah, I know Sears Free Spirit isn’t represented in Coluhuffrray, but I’m not sure how to work it in. If you have any idea, please leave a comment.  This 1976 Huffy Bicentennial baby comes to us from Mister4corners in New York State.

    Mister4corners here again. I have a super groovy OTS, I’m assuming the year is 1976 judging by the patriotic decals. Bet you’ve never seen one of these, it is a Huffy Independence. No great story here, I bought it on eBay and had it shipped to my house in Upstate New York from Kansas. Must be a lot of crappy ten speeds in the country’s heartland. Anyway, it is all steel with Suntour APX Shimano Positron components. Rides beatifully! i will replace the handlebar tape when I get a moment, everything else is ready to go.

    Thanks Mr 4c

      God Bless America. What a beauty! I am curious, however, any stickers indicating country of origin/assembly?

      Just looking at it makes me proud to be an American!

      Sorry, I failed to include a photo of the headbadge. She was made in Dayton, Ohio. Truly an All American!

      I actually had a Huffy Independence bike when I was a kid. Brings back fond memories. :)

      Wow! I have the female version of the same bike. Mine is the 1976 bicentennial huffy! Still have it in the garage.

      The Huffy Independence was made in Celina Ohio. I was lucky enough to be a test rider for it in the summer of 1975, when I was 15. They put “test” derailers on it. At first I couldn’t shift it without the chain falling off so they tweaked it until it was right. I rode it every day for 4 months with no other problem. Mine was exactly like the one in the picture except it had a WHITE seat with an eagle embossed in it. Best bike I or my friends rode back then.

      Hi I had this bike but it was a women’s. the seat was white with a design on it. It was my first 10 speed. I saved my own money and bought it at Kmart. I wish I still had it.

      I also have the girls version. The seat is white with a red/white/ and blue eagle design on it. I am wanting to sell it but have no idea how much it is worth.
