its just some 3rd world jobbie i picked up at an lbs on sale for 30 bucks. seems like its one of those seats that breaks YOU in, not the other way around...

I like the brown with brown seat. Makes it look very vintage.

you could put wheels and bars on that seat and ride IT around!!! Seriously though, that looks cool!!

that is a seat from rideable replicas and yea it is very cheap but the quality is not bad at all other than it is hard as a rock. makes a new brooks look soft.

HI, COOL LOOKING SCHWINN, WE JUST DISCOVERED HOW FUN THESE ARE TO BUILD AND HOW INEXPENSIVE THEY CAN BE. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE STEERING TUBE. PUNCH UP A SITE ON GOOGLE CALLED 'BUNCH O BIKES', HE HAS A BREAK DOWN OF ALL OF THE SCHWINN SERIAL NUMBERS UNDER RESTORATION TIPS. THESE SCHWINN FRAMES WITH A STEEL WHEEL SET ARE ALMOST BULLET PROOF AND CAN TAKE A LOT OF ABUSE.
