The original thought behind elliptical sprockets was a reduction of the force needed to turn the crank when the arms are up and down, and you have poor lever advantage. :| The specific purpose of the "Biopace" version was to sell new bicycles. :mrgreen:

Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-New bike(s)-5/16

Yesterday or the day before...i forgot...i ended up getting a bunch of shelving units at a garage sale for $4...and this little girls bike for $.50
IMG_5407.jpg

Driving around today, i saw some bikes in some guys front lawn...a beautiful schwinn jaguar and a kickbutt jc higgins...i wanted to see what the story was about them, so me and my mom stopped by...more bikes in the back. The owner wasnt home, but his very nice wife told me she would call him...i got a call about 30 minutes later...
Went back, and talked to him for a while and left with all of this stuff(other than the pedals and rubber repair kit)
For a small fee...i got this pile

oh yeah...and not the little wooden radio flyer...saw that at another sale and couldnt pass it up for .75
 
Re: TheFlyingDingo's Fresh bikes-New bike(s)-5/16

Hey Dingo, That Schwinn stuff looks better parked @ your house than mine LOL! I kinda miss having them,I'm getting better @ keeping good stock. Do you still have the 20" straight bar Schwinn? I'm interested.
