FTFY Its sad to say but that's what really happened. I would gladly have paid not to have some of the boards I belong to (this one included) decimated but unfortunately they are asking crack levels of money for crappy service.



Back on topic. I grew up on Schwinns in the 70's and early 80's I must've had 4 or 5 starting with a hand-me-down Stingray, A Typhoon, Collegiate Sport 5 spd and a 10spd Paramount? in HS in the early 80's. I even had a post war Cruiser that I delivered papers on with a giant basket that I bought from the kid that had the route before me. They were tanks back then but they held up to serious abuse, a teens maintenance (NONE) and kept going.

I miss them.
