Just picked this up today.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/26-Huffy-Men-s-Fortress-Mountain-Bike-Blue/49058108
Looks like it will work great for what I want.
Steel with modified horizontal dropouts so axle can go all the way in.
Front fork is 100mm axle. Rear is 155mm axle, but can be widened or squeezed in.
3 gear chain ring, 48T and 2 smaller ones. Index twist shifter
6 speed freewheel.But plenty of room for 7 speed or higher. Index twist shifter
Rims are 39mm outside, so 32mm inside.
Stock tires are 26x3.0, 35psi max
Brakes appear to be decent pads.
BB width was 73mm +/- 1mm
This appears to be the closest I've come to finding the right bike frame.
As almost always things need adjusting, including the front wheel which was too tight to spin freely.
I've installed my MXUS 3000 on the original rim and tires with room to spare.
Got about 150 miles on it now if stock tires. I hate knobbies for road use. Got some better road tires coming.
