Well, there were the Huffy frames that The 7-11 team rode for a couple of years. I wouldn't mind one of those, so anyone who wouldn't be caught dead on one of those can send it to me.

Indeed. But does anyone here have any on topic Huffys? On topic you say? Indeed... in the late 1960s Carlton actually made a range of very on topic, high quality lightweights for Huffy which were, sob!, sold as... Huffys! I remember my dad telling hell would freeze over before he bought me a Huffy, even one made in England. And even today, well.. I just wouldn't be caught dead riding a Huffy. Someone did.. there was even a Huffy "racing" jersey on eBay recently. There were also some lower end Huffy "racers" that were British built in the early '60s.. these may have been built by CWS.
