Hi, I have and old huffy bicycle and am curious as to why the seatpost bolt and handlebar bolt to tighen the handlbars are screws instead of hex bolts. I thought maybe someone just put screws in instead but you couldn't even fit a regular bolt in the handlebars so I guess its made that way. I am told its a 50 something huffy. I have searched and can't find anything about any bikes having screws instead of bolts. I hope someone can tell me about this. thanks
