I actually own a Schwinn with a "solid" fork. I was working on building it out and getting it road-worthy for the wife this weekend. See my thread titled "Schwinn Modernization Project"
I LOVE the aesthetics of this bike but didn't really think about the forks being solid steel until you mentioned it in this thread!
