i prefer the older schwinns to rides as they are duriable and classic alwalys works. I own 5 classic schwinns, a 75 travler 12 speed with the Aryra duraplate 27 inch wheels still on it. My best ryder is a 77 LeTour II all orignal except the seat which i shall get a replace ment as soon as I find a like new orignal to put on it. Next is a 77 Suburban that needs the Positron cable to make it fully function. Next a commmon Next 21 speed for just fun riding. then a 55 Murry masqurading as a sears 3 speed among the 22 bike that I own but preffer the older bikes as they were built with quality. I ride as often as i can weather permiting. I have supplied my grandchildren with bicycles as they grow up with the type and color of their chosing and love to ride with them along the bike paths here in town.
