Schwinn Frontier GS

Snapped this up yesterday at Goodwill.

50% off so $5 total. Think it's about a 2002 model.

Rear wheel would not turn because chain was rusted solid !
Some PB Blaster freed the chain, and tires hold air. Actually rides and shifts pretty good.

Gonna put the parts on a more desirable frame.

Big fan of the paddle shifters.

Kinda wierd but shift cables seem to have a molded in kink by the steering neck. Work OK though.

Also fork has "cro-mo" sticker is that frame and fork or fork only?

If its on the fork...fork only. The tri-moly sticker on the frame usually means that just the front triangle is chromoly...the rest not.

One problem I'm having is the lack of a chain guard. Jeans cuff keeps getting sucked into chain. Looked at at a lot of online pics of this model and most seem to be without one. Also found one with a guard.

It looks like plastic do these break easy ?
