I was walking through Wally World and I saw a Huffy Cranbrook. I know Schwinn is just a Name and no longer a Brand made in the U.S.A. So are they both made at the same plant? Picific Group? If not whitch is the better quality?
Carbon said:From what I have found every newer Huffy with the Cranbrook frame whether its a Good Vibration or whatever has a crooked fork from the factory and if you call them and tell them, they will send you another crooked fork to replace it. The Schwinns actually have nicer frame and forks but I have read alot that they have alot of problems with the factory coaster brake back wheel. Frames are pretty good on both.

Yeah I've got to agree, ever since Schwinn switched from Bendix to Shimano the rear hubs have sucked.

First thing is Huffy is not one of the Pacific Brands http://www.pacificcycle.com/brands
Second Schwinn is hands down better especially is you buy the ones with better components at your local bike shop (LBS)..
But honestly there are too many better made used vintage frames out their to spend your money on.......
So why not find a classic frame and redo it, they have character and history, that only time creates.......
