Hi to all. Until about two years ago I had not been on a bicycle in 40 years. Saw a Schwinn beach cruiser at Wal Mart and bought on a whim. It was fun. Of course I have since realized that it was Chinese junk. I will not use it even for spare parts. Anyway, started picking old American bikes at the flea market. I really enjoy taking long forgotten rigs left for dead and bring them back to life. Found this forum while searching for info on one of them. Glad I did.
