    Need help! Going crazy over seat post!!

    Don't know the year of that bike, but, odds are it's made by PC 2001 and later. It's no longer a Schwinn except labeled by PC as one. And most likely that's why ya can't get a Schwinn or standard sizes to fit. So, I'd be looking at Murray, Huffy, Mongoose, Roadmaster, dyno, and the rest of...

    no surprise! LOL.. and insure ya tighten those bearings just right,, I usually, tighting the bearing nut down to where it it gets tight enough to drag when spinning the wheel, and then back it out a tiny bit at a time till it spins freely with no drag, and you can't wiggle the wheel on axel...

    Pacific Cycle

    Does they replace 2007 rust buckets? I mean they're awfully darned good at skimping on chrome, is it because they intend to replace em? I can point to 100's of rusted up junk rims, fenders handlebars, goose necks cranks and sprockets if so!

    Proposed new bike and seats from Emory/Aerofast.....

    It would appear as if the bike is still in development. I happened across this topic while trying to hunt down and exact match for a 1935-ish McCauley fender set. and as usual there's tons of sidetracks in searches. LOL Anyways, I found a CAD image of what they're doing, it's past September...

    Need help! Going crazy over seat post!!

    I wouldn't be so sure it's even a Schwinn cruiser .. what was it, 2001 that pacific bought out the Schwinn logo? They're not Schwinn's anymore, but Murray's and Huffy's with a sticker. Lets see photograph of said violator. I'm thinking 'like' wally world "Schwinn" 2004 and newer.. Funny last...

    Pawn shop special!

    I think it goes like this, if me coffee is up to speed this morning.. Schwinn had Panasonic Japan make the frames for a few years in the 80's and the "quality built" meant it was assembled in USA.

    finding people in your area

    Yeah man, but you ain't getting it.. You don't take a cruiser up and into trails.. You take a cruiser into the crowd, through parking lot, into watchers sections and let em stare. if no crowds, then put big locks on it when you're there riding a trail bike,, chained on GOOD to the back of car or...

    1978 Schwinn Hornet W/Tank, Value?

    I grabbed this off Craig's list today for what I figured was a good score. But, soon my better half will be home and I'll be faced with the normal doom and gloom answering the question: "What's it worth?" followed with: "When you sell it, then I'll like it." I found one on e-bay, just a few...

    PARTS,GIRLS SCHWINE and a PANDA???

    It looks like white under the paint, and when you're taking off a coat you've got to be careful that you don't wipe off the decals at the same time. That's why, on the photo I showed above, not all the over painting is washed off. As I uncovered it, the decals also began fading off. The hole...
