    Schwinn Swindler Sort of Review

    I went to Walmart with my son to get him a new mountain bike. While there, this Schwinn sort of followed me home. I bought it mostly because I thought it looked kind of cool. I've ridden only for short distances, maybe a 1/2 mile or so at a time so my review is more about appearance than...

    My New Schwinn Swindler

    I have one of these Swindlers too. A few months back,I went with my 12 y.o. son to get him a cheap mountain bike for school and they had these, so we came home with two bikes. Now he wants to get rid of his bike and use the Swindler instead!

    Travis Pastrana Motobike

    I came across a Travis Pastrana Motobike, free to a good home, yesterday on the north side of Austin. It's missing one of the number plate side panels and the rear disc brake is frozen up.

    My DumpsterMountain Bike!

    I think I gave them $40 instead. I just had them put a 3 speed hub on my Schwinn Typhoon, as well. Sorry about the lack of picture. I don't seem to be able to post pictures from my Photobucket acct. I've tried before and thought maybe I had figured it out this time. No such luck...

    Opinion question - Legal or no?

    I have been thinking of putting one of the Whizzer style kits on my Schwinn. I asked at the DMV and they said if it was under 50cc no license was needed. I asked later at the state trooper station and they said any gas motor device had to be registered and you had to be licensed to operate. I...

    Re-intro!

    I was an enthusiastic follower of this site and had 19 bikes and frames in various stages of decay until we moved from a nice garage with a decent house attached to it to Austin, Texas where we have a decent apartment with a small patio. After that I stayed away from this website because it hurt...

    Hi

    Hi to all from Cisco Texas. My name is Gary and I have just discovered your site. It is great. I got laid off a while back and needed something to stay busy. I have an AMF Texas Ranger 26" bike that I just bought, it is in great condition except that the coaster brake is not working. I have been...
