Wait, some Schwinns were built by Murray?

Took ‘er for a spin and oddly enough it’s not as noisy or resistant on the pavement as I had anticipated. It sounded like Deebows bike from that movie “Friday”

There should be a lust emoji available…oh wait, 😛 I guess that’ll do.

Schwinnreresting….love it! 😁

Tres cool 😎

It’s kind of odd that you’d mention that. My Suzuki FA50 Shuttle underbone/no-ped isn’t much larger than a BMX bicycle
