I have a Suburban, I gave $50 for it and a Stingray Jr. They were not creampuffs, but cleaned up OK! The Suburban is Campus Green, has Northroad style bars, 10 spd w/stem shifters and fenders! I changed out the HB stem, and must have saved a pound or 2!!!! Man, that Schwinn HB stem was HEAVY!!!

I also put new tires and tubes on it......it looks pretty good and it rides pretty good, too! I told my wife it was sorta like riding in you great aunts old buick!!! You Don't have to go fast to look cool!

My Surburban has got me to thinking about putting a proper HB stem for Northroad bars and fenders on my Paramount! I really do like THAT look!
