Meet Tiger McGraw.
Before he got his Huffy bike, the gang called him Wilbur.
What a Huffy® bike does for a young man can’t be measured on a yardstick.
Just imagine yourself on a hot new Huffy. Like the Super 10.
Ten speed derailleur system. With shift levers mounted on the top tube.
Racing style, padded saddle. 26 x 1-3/8-inch tires. With caliper handbrakes, front and rear.
Wide ratio gearing — 38 to 96. With Maes Bend handlebars, rat trap pedals and a frame finished in a flamboyant paint job.
Zoom. That’s the stuff that turns a Wilbur into a Tiger. A Sammy into Slugger. And meek, mild-mannered Melvin into Duke.
You’ll love shopping for a Huffy. There’s a wide range of bikes to choose from. And each one is priced surprisingly low.
Just look for Huffy bikes on display at the stores with the biggest bargains in town.
And pick your own nickname.
Huffman, Dayton, Ohio 45401 or Azusa, California 91702.
HUFFY®
Every kid deserves a Huffy. At least once in his life.
