Looks like it's a department store bike. Or hardware store, I suppose. Sold at Canadian Tire up here. 0 in stock, discontinued, so that's not a good sign.

Looks like a good place to keep a flask.

There's no telling which Schwinns each dealer has.

Found a Russian site with these pics of it. Looks like it is 3 speed coaster too.

Only 40,000 Rubles

I even see references to it overseas as 2017 too.

 

[kingfish254]

Equivalent of $500-700 in the Japan, Europe, New Zealand, and Russia so far in my search

 

[kingfish254]

Closest I can find in the US. This appears to be the same frame.

Shows up as a Hornet on Schwinn Bikes web site.

I sure don’t need another bike but I might have to check with our old school Schwinn dealer, Tom Sawyer Bicycle Shop.

i called schwinn and was told it was only international,she didnt know why,but i would think the cpsc has somthing to do with it,i spent years with the toro co,the cpsc was always putting saftey rules on products sold on usa,but as many regulations on overseas products,schwinn might be making more sellin it overseas,would be good to find somone in the military that is comin home and can bring one back

They were afraid that some idiot parent would store their baby in there and then sue Schwinn
