i used to have an old schwinn in 97 or so, lasted me a long time till it got stolen. now they are terrible and it makes me wonder why they went to pacific bikes and make their bikes so crappy now.

I agree with everything he just said except the (even worse than huffy) thing. I ride a huffy, theyre the only thing ive ever ridden, and most of them are really good.
