just a schwinn?!?!?!?!!? you ass-hat! that is a panasonic made schwinn that was only made for one year because people were buying those instead of the paramounts due to the fact that the bike was cheaper in price but the same in quality. no where does it say schwinn on it except for the suntour bar-end shifters, they say 'schwinn approved'. if you convert this bike the bike gods will kill you for sure. sell this bike to someone who can appreciate it please!! there are many yahoo groups that deal in selling old and classic bikes, sell it on one of them best one i can find is a yahoo group called BobishBikes
