No not a puch i dont think. These frames off the bay, its either me of the blue and white frame has forward facing dropouts and the rear stays are curved at the seat tube. I thought it was an old burner.

The gusset looks right, the dropouts look right but the head tube and rear stays at the seat tube dont...

Head tube is definately the fattest i've seen on an old bike, that should give it away, but I have no idea if it's not Huffy.
