Huffy "Panama Jack" WARNING!!!

[Big Red]

Hey Sarge, How ya been? Long time eh? After my stroke my memory got a little befuffled, And I forgot my danged password. FINALLY, just now, remembered it. Did anyone really miss me though? Probably not this old hard headed SOB.
But anyway. I've been telling people about the Jack Rack for a while now, I THINK I heard about the problem on that OTHER SITE. I've got a panama in my shop right now and have already informed my shop manager of the problem with the rack welds so he may in turn inform the customer. The regular Cranny is a great frame to start with. Steel frame with decent welds, Steel rims with 12 guage spokes. I've been riding mine for a while now, no major problems.
GOOD TO BE BACK.
Big Red.

I saw this thread and had to inspect my Panama Jack. I have over a 800 miles on mine, chain stays look fine. After looking at the welds on mine (very poor quality) I can see how they could effect frame integrity, if rack was used to carry heavy loads. Good thing to be aware of, I will check those tubes when I do my routine bike inspection. Routine inspection is critical on these gas powered vibrators, I have prevented many problems just by regular tightening of bolts.
