The Schwinn in the add is not one of the two models he suggests it may be. It's an electrogorged Speedster.
Be aware that Schwinn used some oddball proprietary sizing for headsets, stems, seat posts, rims and hubs.
It would need cold setting of the rear triangle and forks to accommodate a change in hubs. The fork ends would need to be opened up a little as well to accommodate a 9mm or 3/8" axle.
See, this is the kind of stuff that I need to be educated on. I know nothing about this older stuff.
The information and offers are appreciated more than you know.
What I could really use is a succinct source of information to come up to speed (no pun intended). Links would be great.
Sorry to hijack the thread.
