That's what I would like to do. Just gotta find the parts at a descent price. Does the fork off the new Schwinn or Huffy fit on the old Shwinns? Then I would have everything I need ie. wheels, tires etc.

I build stuff.
Look at the sticker on the top of the bottom bracket on the non-drive side (left) of the different bikes at walmart, most have the same Pacific Bicycle sticker there. When I look at Walmart bikes I don't pay attention to the brand name since most of them come from the same factory.

Oops! Well, not a photo, but grabbed this from Huffy's website. Among other things, I wish the front fender was longer, so a light could be mounted on it. Actually, the fenders could both be longer.
I'll do better next time....

Here is a pick of what I've been doing with my OP i bought a while back at Walmart!
That OP is sweet! Just picked up a Huffy Sante Fe at Kmart for $52 on clearance. Looks like a return.
Also spotted a nice looking Schwinn Hurricane at Toys R Us on sale for $109.

It's kinda funny that my wife doesn't understand why my shiny new bike will be a "donor" for my old Chicago Schwinn! I will have a rat bike and an old school rider for the price of one new bike! Two for one in my book.
I saw one of those electrics at one of te two Walmarts that surround my house today :shock:

That would look cool as a continental kit spare on the back of your military sidecar.
Nice bike shoes!!!!
My local Wal-Mart just restocked the bikes, I saw at least 10 that were new and interesting. Sorry if any of these are reposts. Here are some of the more interesting ones:
New 29er similar to the Onyx by Genesis, $149:
Flat Black Schwinn Cruiser did not have a price yet:
Schwinn Cruiser with rack for $129
Interesting looking Mongoose single-speed (not a fixie, if it was I'd buy it) for $149. Interesting bar treatment:
Also, it appears the short-lived partnership with DK BMX Bicycles is done with. Out of 150 bikes or so, I spied one lone DK General Lee. All others were gone. I can't believe they would sell out of them, wonder if they sent them back?

Nice mongoose, I'd definitely have to pick it up because it was a single speed.
But that is just because I'm not in shape for a fixie.

Good point. The bike doesn't show up on Walmarts site.
I never realized that the racks that the bikes sit in slid out for easy viewing.
