Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

From what I gather there are at least 2 different lines of Schwinn bikes being built. There are the low end gotta meet a price point stuff that they sell at CT,WM, Target etc. Then there is the line the have on the Schwinn Bikes website that they sell at the LBS. I have two LBS's in my area that both carry Schwinn. One is a regular bike shop with multiple brands and they sell a lot of high end stuff too. The other is a bike and lawn mower shop repair center. I suspect in their case the bikes are about 10-15% of their total business. They carry Schwinn, Huffy and Sun bicycles. They are the closest one to my house so they get my business for the stuff I need on a regular basis, like tubes, cables, and parts for my beaters, and they are more than happy to orders stuff for me that they don't normally stock, like Freddy Fenders and Schwalbe tires. They do stock a lot of things from Wald and Pyramid...
