Ok, I see how easy it is for this to get out of control. While looking for a parts donor for my Chestnut SubUrban in my other thread, I came across this Schwinn Speedster 3-speed, and just had to get it. $60. I really wanted the three speed SubUrban but haven't found one yet. I may eventually find a 3-speed hub to swap onto it. But now, while I'm working on fixing the FF or converting the SubUrban, I figured I could ride this and see if the three speed is really my dream. I will say this frame measures almost exactly the same as the SubUrban (even though this has 26 inch wheels) and weighs roughly the same at 42 lbs. But after a quick jaunt around a few blocks, it doesn't seem to ride the same. I know others here have said that, but I'm curious why there is much of a difference when the frame sizes and such are about the same.

It's not in quite as good of shape as the SubUrban. This one has a little more rust (wheels and fenders) but the frame is really good. Has a local bike shop sticker from here in Indy (Macs - no longer here).
