Not mine, but I had the pleasure of working on this sweet Huffy FS kids bike. So nice. 31lbs WITH pedals and kickstand. All 7 speeds. Both brakes.
The brakes brought the bike to my garage. My friend's wife assembled it (he can't be trusted with tools). She did fine - nothing was upside down or backwards - but the brakes were dragging and unevenly tensioned.
I really hate these things. How much lighter could a properly designed fully rigid bike be at the same price point? 6 or 7lbs between dumping the garbage fork/shock and using the money for better materials & components? Noone would buy it though.
