As a friend of mine used to say, "Everybody makes crap." This is in
reference to the Shimano components on this bike. As for the bike
itself, ALL Huffy makes is crap. This bike will go out of adjustment
instantly, and begin falling apart soon thereafter. The frame angles
and dimensions bear no resemblance to those of a well thought out,
carefully manufactured bicycle. You will never be able to adjust this
bicycle for a proper fit and it will be under-used because it will never
be enjoyable to ride. Do yourself and your daughter a favor: spend
approximately twice as much as the Huffy would cost, and get a bike 
that will last much longer, be ten times as much fun to ride, and be
used that much more often because of it. If I had my way, it would 
be illegal to sell Huffys--they're not just junk, they're potentially
dangerous junk.

This is my own, carefully-thought-out opinion, and only myself and 
the cretins at Huffy should be held responsible for it.

Last year I bought some bars that meet all but one of your criteria
but number 3.  

I bought them at a "Blaine Velo", a local store that carries track
stuff.  They are steel 40cm track bars with the anatomical flat spot
like the modolo bars.  I think they are made by either SR or Sekai.
The owner of the store who sold them to me said they were called 
"kieren bars" (I thought that's where you buy kieren beer :-)).
I used them with a T-bone stem on my track bike. Call Jerry Hinniker
at Blaine Velo - (612) 757-8679.

Opportunity has unexpectedly knocked for me (it's a long story)
and I'm in a position to buy/receive (a little of both) the 
bike of my dreams.

I've done a lot of mountain biking around Vancouver over the 
last four years (around 10000 km) on my old Fiori San Remo 
(Norco).  I do a lot of steep climbs on the local mountains, as 
well as fast sprints through the rugged canyon and ravine trails.  
I've often found that, on climbs, I lose traction well before my 
legs give out.

I've been trying educating myself on the bike marketplace by 
reading every bike magazine I can find.  Now I'm a week away 
from purchasing a Mongoose Amplifier with XTR components.  I 
know this will be the last bike I'll be able to buy for a long 
time ("Generation X" and "money for expensive toys" are mutually 
exclusive).

I don't want to make a mistake!  Is there anyone out there who
can tell me why I *shouldn't* buy this bike?  Does anyone have
first-hand negative or positive experience with the Mongoose 
Amplifier?  I'd appreciate any opinions on this issue.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I have a Nissan Hardbody pickup with a shell on the back.  I'd like to get
a rack that attaches to the bumper of the truck so I can take our bikes on
camping trips.  The bumper has a trailer hitch ball on it, and is not the
"receiver" type so I can't use the racks that work that type hitch.  I'd
like the rack to be able to carry at least 3 bikes, although I could
probably deal with a rack that handles two. 

I have seen the following racks in catalogs:

  Graber (Nashbar $40) - looks somewhat less sturdy than the other models.
         Holds 2 bikes.

  Enflite (Nashbar $70) - sturdy looking, looks like it has to be unbolted to
         get into the truck.  Holds 3 bikes.

  Max Rac (Performance $115/$150) - Sturdy looking, holds 3 bikes.  Folding
         model more expensive, makes it easier to get into truck with rack
         attached.  On sale for $10 off.

I'd appreciate any comments on the above racks, or on any other models
in this catagory that have served their owners well.

Why not?  If he gives you a ticket, you can go to court, and perhaps
the judge will realize what an asshole the cop is.  Or he may not;
he may (probably) take the cop's word over yours.  Of course, if the
cop decides to just kick your ass, there's probably little you can do

Maybe the best course of action would be to get his tag number and
complain to his superior(s).  Endangering civilians like that seems
somewhat unprofessional, but maybe it's just me.  :-)

I'd like to second the advice about the Federation Francaise de
Cyclotourisme.  I did a tour of the Loire Valley with them in
September, and it was superb in all respects.  A great way to
meet real French people...not those connected with the tourist
industry, and to improve your French if you're fairly
conversant. 

However, if you telephone, don't expect to find someone who 
speaks English.  I wasn't aware that they had publications 
in English containing route information, but I'll vouch for 
the completeness of the maps and cue sheets I've seen...I don't 
think they've left any part of the country uncharted.  

There's an especially good booklet of rides in the  Paris 
(Ile de France) area, but beware...unless you want to ride your 
bike in Paris traffic (I would NEVER attempt this), be prepared 
to stay and/or rent your bike outside the city. The commuter 
trains allow bikes at very inconvenient (approx. 11 am - 3 pm) 
hours only...no good for a day of fun in the countryside.

Probably most of the Loire Valley and Normandy will provide the
flattest cycling terrain, but I think Champagne, Bourgogne, and
Provence would be worth the effort.  For cycling outside Paris
(it's amazing how quickly...30 or so minutes...you can be
beyond the urban bustle) I'm only familiar with the Vallee des
Chevreuses (RER: St. Remy-les-Chevreuses) and Rambouillet, but
I'd definitely recommend them.

There are several guides to cycling in France, and I don't have
them with me at the moment to give you authors and pubishers,
but a good bookstore should be able to locate them for you if
you can't find them at a library.  Beware...they vary in
quality, and i.m.h.o., accuracy.  But it's a good way to start!

I took my bike with me...you might consider this.  United, and
I don't know who else, allows a bicycle to travel as one of
your checked bags, provided the actual suitcase-type bag you
check, if indeed you check one, conforms to whatever dimensions
they specify for the smaller of the two bags (42" perimiter?).
I knew of two folks who rented fairly poor Huffy-type city
bikes (whether of necessity or because they didn't realize
what they needed, I don't know) but I have no other experience
with bike rentals.  Lugging your own bike isn't easy. 
If flying to Paris, I would recommend Orly instead of CDG if
you're taking your bike (closer in, smaller cab fare since you
can't take public transportation).  I'm glad in spite of the
size and weight that I took mine along and will again.  I used
the Performance hard-side case, but I am aware of other
hard-sided ones which look less awkward.

Good Luck...I'd love to hear what you end up doing!!!

I also have an interesting tale of this nature:

A year ago I was riding on a rural road that is frequented by bicycle
commuters.  I had passed one rider and saw another about a quarter of a
mile ahead.  Around a corner comes a BIG pick-up it swerves across the line
right at the cyclist and then back across the yellow line.  I chalked this
up to the curve in the road and maybe some excessive speed.  As he
aproached me I was wary, to say the least, and sure enough he swerves well
over the yellow line at me. I braked and put a foot down and watched him
swerve across the line again at the cyclist behind me!  This fellow was
smart enoughto be doing all of this in a COMPANY TRUCK!  I called the
police and the greeting was "hey didn't you just call about this a minute
ago?" (obviousely other cyclists had called)  They went out and found the
guy (well known to the police) and he said that, get this, "There was a bee
in the truck and I was trying to get him out".  I'm waiting, waiting,
waiting. I know where the trucks are, I know who the guy is and that he
owns the business.  Some night when there's no moon and   I'm feeling like
"Mr Vengeance" I'll see to it that bees will not have to be encumbered by
any glass in that vehicle.

Now insert your flames about how I'm a "criminal-in-waiting",no better than
he is, and "that's not what cycling's about" here_________________________.

My brother once had a bike with the free wheel at the crank which meant
that he could shift anytime the bike was rolling.   It did not have
a fron derailer but I cannot see why this would not be a problem.

Black ice is a left coast phenomenon, apparently.  In the California
vernacular, it's the ice on a road after melted snow has frozen into a
sheet on the road.  It's called 'black' because it looks dark in the
car headlights, since it's a smooth sheet which reflects the light up
and away, instead of back into your eyeballs.

The term has degenerated to the point where 'black ice' is now what
you might see on the road, and 'ice' is what they use to give you less
coke in a large coke at McDonalds.  Remember that we have been in a
drought recently, so half the population has never seen ice on a
roadway.

As to descending in Tahoe, most folks have reverted to the ski type
descents for a change.

I agree with Dennis.  I've got a true story about this.

A couple months ago, my wife and I were on a brief ride.  A couple
guys had honked and yelled as we passed through town.  I just waved.

5 miles later, on an out-of-the-way farm road, I came across a 
black pickup truck stuck in a rut at the road's edge.  One black
leather jacket kid in the driver's seat, scowling and spinning the
wheels, another standing on the road looking bewildered.  My wife
went on, but I took charge and helped "rock" the truck loose.  The
kid in the road was almost falling down with gratitude.  "Thank you,
sir!  Thank you very much!!"

You guessed it.  Only when it drove off did I realize it was the 
truck that had been obnoxious in town.

It occurred to me that they're going to look at cyclists differently
now.  At least, I think they will.  Gives me something new to hope
for.  When an idiot gets obnoxious, I won't hope they drive over
a cliff.  I'll just hope they get stuck, so I can push them out.

So, you say you want to re-pack your rear hub, eh?

Remove locking and cone nuts and remove the axle.  Take out the dust
cap, remove ball bearings.  Clean out bearing races.  Look inside
with a flashlight, you'll see four rectangular notches around a
groove, this may take some peeking.  Spin freehub mechanism to see
that on one side of the groove, it moves, while the other side
doesn't, this will make the design fairly obvious.  By putting oil,
I use Phil Wood tenacious, but there are others that will do well,
into the bearing races area and spinning the freehub body, you'll
get oil into these notches which will then transport the oil into
the ratchet/pawl mechanism (rock the hub back and forth a bit while
spinning).  Since you had to take the ball bearings out to get to
the ratchet oiling mechanism, might as well re-pack with new ones
and fresh grease, and since you took the axle out and probably
dropped some of the bearings from the other side, might as well
re-pack those too.  Fortunately this design places the bearing
grease between the world and the ratchets/pawls, so they stay well
lubricated for a long time.

Now you get to adjust your cone nuts, better get your straight
jacket ready.

I *think* black ice is so-called because when the term was coined (originally

still do). So, the 'transparent' ice was perceived as being the same 'colour'
