I only rode it a few times while "setting it up"<br />Quickly sold this one to finance the next project. This is my "hobby" and hopefully eventually my business. Right now I am finishing-up a Nottingham Raleigh "Sprite" and a Canadian Pacer "special Edition 15 Speed" I will be posting them both real soon. I am always happy to answer any questions you<br />might have about your bike.(if I can) I do restore bikes for myself but this was not one of them.

No...Sure you can use the photo of the Huffy Asylum. No Problem.<br />I do appreciate you letting me know. The thing that really does bother me is. When someone uses one of my bike pictures to represent their bike "for sale". There is(or was)a guy selling a bike on craigslist annarbor mi using a photograph of mine.(Next Mtn Bike 60.00) He might be the current owner,I don`t really know. But even if he is, it is not a current picture. And it is not an honest representation of what the bike looks like now. That really yanks my chain.<br /> P.S. I stand corrected, my Asylum was an 18 speed. And the guard was on there when I got it, So I can`t help you there.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986498277947032639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-8776755713508651932010-04-21T03:31:03.705-04:002010-04-21T03:31:03.705-04:00Hi Hugh,
Thanks for prompt replies..
Your colour...Hi Hugh,<br /><br />Thanks for prompt replies..<br /><br />Your colour graphics suggest yours is a true 18 speed.<br /><br />I have posted pics of mine at 'huffy_asylum15' on flickr. may be hard to find as so many huffys on flickr. I posted some of yours to ilustrate a comparison . I hope you don't mind but I could not figure out how to sigh into this blog to contact you direct..not expecting a reply at all ( :Do I have your permissions for this? I cut my paint or clearcote and waxed it, then added silcone spray topping..looks great.where did you get the techno chainring cover?settcounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294269497000431090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-8711918111215563532010-04-15T10:22:45.990-04:002010-04-15T10:22:45.990-04:00Welcome Peter

(on the lower seat tube) Every once in a while Huffy takes a huge step-up in quality. I think this bike was one of those times.<br /> Dunedin NZ. Wow! the world is getting to be a small place. Glad you stopped by, Don`t be a stranger.

But...Hey Peter, Yes it is a Satin finish paint job. But it does look pretty much the same as a sun-faded lacquer paint job. And the Chain- Wheel is the original.(as far as I know)Also yours is correct. This one also started life as a fifteen speed as well.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986498277947032639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-13618956461089231422010-04-15T05:37:26.913-04:002010-04-15T05:37:26.913-04:00Is that blue paint supposed to be satin finish as ...Is that blue paint supposed to be satin finish as I polished mine up???<br /><br />Mine is definitely 15 speed cited in the graphics also. Chainwheel is basic and not futuristic like yours.I painted the pedals black too as chrome was rusting.Peter Healinghttp://www.myspace.com/472842437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-72993162983589769972010-04-15T05:34:09.226-04:002010-04-15T05:34:09.226-04:00Great I have one in Dunedin NZ 2010 - 15 speed rid...Great I have one in Dunedin NZ 2010 - 15 speed rides well...Peter Healinghttp://www.myspace.com/472842437noreply@blogger.com
