Some things I wonder are. if it's not broken should I touch it? lol
Do you think distance riding will bother it, I aint no schwinn pro. lol
it's kinda neat because it's made that theres no way for the chain to fall off at all lol
Heres the bike. if you need close ups of any part or anything just ask.
Oh, wow... I think it's a mongrel. It's definitely got a Front Freewheeling crank, but the rear freewheel looks incorrect. I thought the FFS system only came with a FFS Uniglide cluster- that one has an earlier skip-tooth Shimano freewheel. I also thought that the FFS system was combined with Shimano Positron II shifting- that one has a Schwinn friction shifter and a Shimano Titlist (?) rear derailleur. Did Suburbans ever come with FFS? I'm getting hazy...
As with any old Schwinn, it's built strong but heavy. What kind of distance were you thinking of riding it?
