With prices like that, is Schwinn trying to establish themselves as slightly higher than the regular Walmart stuff? Or is it the bubble effect of the lockdown with everyone rediscovering cycling, all the Walmart level bikes' prices shifting upwards? I'd rather see a better Schwinn product. Is there anything better about them, or just cashing in on the old familiar name?
I was getting safety glasses for work at the walmart in gilroy. I decided to go look at the bicycle section and there was not one bike in the store. Our local bike shop in Hollister is also sold out.
So when 5speed says there's 3 new schwinns at walmart he doesn't mean three new models, he means there's literally only three bicycles for sale at walmart
Please let the next one be a 24" Manta Ray.
I suspect this isn't the case, but it would be cool if these were made with modern tubing and components in the old styles. The looks of a lot of old bikes is appealing, but the build and components are not. Going further, the tank could be repurposed for storage of pocket items, they could add a front brake, etc.
What if they updated these classic bikes with aluminum frames and rims? Do you think they would still sell?
They'd sell to RRB members and other like minded individuals, but probably not in the volume walmart would want to justify the increased manufacturing cost. So they'd end up with an even higher price than the $500 phantom that kicked this thread off. A price point that would mean this cabal of dumpster divers would no longer be interested :/
They do make Schwinn Classic Al, that is pretty much a middleweight frame on aluminium tubing.
they sell the krates on amazon and the phantom on wallmart web site,i can view that link myself in my saves,i have one of the aluminum 3i bikes,even comes with schwinn typhoon tires,was a dealer only bike not big box,big box dont normaly sell 3 speed internal rear hubs,lookin for them to do the boys fantom in kool colors,my 3i
