I swore off of procuring any more steeds, but I had to save this from the scrapper and I paid the a low price that would lead me to believe that the guy really didn’t want to toss it. It’s ac1970 Schwinn Suburban. I bought myself and an ex his and hers matching ‘72’s a while back and we broke up...

Was going to start a new thread, but this seemed apropos…Here is a Huffy Santa Fe that I remixed a little while back. As expected on inclines I get a bit of exercise but on flat land she rolls like a speeding freight train

Excellent save…seeing cool classic bikes made into yard art really gets my goat 🐐😤😠😡🤬. There are actual yard art objects available that look like antique bicycles and they aren’t that expensive. Pardon the rant. Got a bit triggered

Wait, some Schwinns were built by Murray?

Took ‘er for a spin and oddly enough it’s not as noisy or resistant on the pavement as I had anticipated. It sounded like Deebows bike from that movie “Friday”

There should be a lust emoji available…oh wait, 😛 I guess that’ll do.

Schwinnreresting….love it! 😁

Tres cool 😎

It’s kind of odd that you’d mention that. My Suzuki FA50 Shuttle underbone/no-ped isn’t much larger than a BMX bicycle

I’ve never seen a bicycle that looked so lovely even when disassembled…this is going to be good.

That name alone drew interest. I love it when a fellow Schwinnthusiast uses Schwinnglish…. By the way that bike is 🍒 , mate. Props!

That’s so funky (in the best possible connotation)

Thanks Pondo. This particular one may be best suited for gravel trails but I’m certain that the setup (it’s a 46er 😉😏) will be quite beneficial when it comes to inclines (which we have in abundance here in the ‘ham) . That’s the reason why I went with short apes (that and it’s something I’ve not...

I mentioned a Cranbrook w/ knobbies a while back….😁. When I test her out I’ll try to snap more pics

Just occurred to me…d-uh! They’re the same company

Cool seatpost

I’m biased towards Murray’s as well (Although there’s a Higgins in my den that needs finishing) and I love the curves of a cantilever. I’d just mash the two up and ditch the step through but different strokes for different folks. Really keen on seeing how this will turn out 🙂

Oddly enough they came standard on the Huffy Escape that I have. I recall reading somewhere that at some point Raleigh had actually made a few bikes for Huffy. I know the Sportsman was rebadged but I’ve often wondered about the the Escape because most of my other geared Huffys are Shimano equipped

I meant finger shifters

Oh I love those vintage shifters as well. The thumb ones are cool but the twist grips are indeed the business as far as I’m concerned…
