So,
I'm still using it, but it needs a new derailleur. I never could get the stock one to work right. I still ride it occasionally and the creaking has stopped. I like the size and the ride of those 29+ tires.
The orange paint is turning pink - even though it's stored in a covered carport.
Considering I like working on stuff it was worth the cost to me to try out 29+ wheels and a large frame. If I was a kid and/or could not work on my own stuff then I'd consider this bike a steaming pile and a big waste of time and money.

They were so cheap! Glad I didn't now. I have OCD/ADD too but have decided I am really not good at working on bikes. Thanks for the reassurance.

This semi-fat 29er left an impression on me. If you're still out there, Bruce, thanks. I ended up buying a fat 29er from Bikes Direct tonight. Got an email for just over $100 off so it was $398. It has a few upgrades compared to the Huffy. I'll start a thread. Should be here in a week or so.

I'll go check out your thread.
