We're all over the place! Between here and SF, we can answer all your questions.
And I have a couple of ?? for you.
Do you plan to ride your classic Schwinn bike? If so (and most of us do ride ours), get one you can really ride. So if you live in a flat area, a single speed balloon tire bike is OK. But, if you live in a hilly place, that 50 lbs of Schwinn indestructability is an ascent challenge. Downhill, on the other hand, can be a blast!
If you plan to ask the question; "Should I repaint?" Be prepared for an equal number of responses on both sides of the argument. There's no consensus on this hot topic.
