Tom R.’s 1982 Huffy Kensington

Posted

Thus far Huffrray Week has consisted of the more aggressive, “race inspired” side of Huffy’s line. Why don’t we mellow out for a while, and enjoy a more “cruise inspired” OTS. Tom R.’s ’82 Kensington should do the trick. Do worry, this “Kensie” has all the performance and handling you’ve come to expect from Huffy, but with a dash of sophistication thrown in for flavor. Go on—drink it in.

You want old and crappy, here it is. It rattles and creaks and falls out of gear like a Huffy, but it’s cool looking and actually a lot of fun to ride. Found it for $4 at a rummage sale.
Cheers,
Tom R.

Thanks Tom

    Thanks for posting this. I just found one just like it on Craigslist. You did better than me, I got mine for $20. I was wondering what year my Kensington was made. Thanks for answering that question. I didn’t get the cool luggage rack though. I will post pics of mine as soon as I go through it completely. Mine has the same paint scheme, bars, etc. Mine does have tires with tan sidewalls that look really cool and vintage. I hope I can use the tires. I haven’t checked them for stress cracks yet.

    Thanks, Patrick
