Your cog is slipping.
Because it's a 'Schwinn'.
I happened to find the frame & fork on eBay for a really good 'buy it now' price w/ free shipping (at 3AM after a night of drinking). As you may know, I was really after an '07 (and still hope to buy Ska!'s one day
) but I'm stoked about my '08 Maddy.
The Madison probably should be talked about more, as it's a damn good bike. Maybe an official Madison thread is in order?

Get a Mercier Kilo WT. You can fit big tires on it which will cushion your big ass I like mine a lot. It's a nice bike for what you pay out

+1 Most quality road frames are plenty strong for a 200+lb rider..providing you don't do things they aren't supposed to. If you wanna ride off curbs, hit potholes, or do other weird things, they are going to fail.

As much as it bums me out to think about, I'm going to sell it. I like the Madison much better.

You don't HAVE to sell it. You could ship it to me as a gift. win/win?
EDIT: hah nvm, I just saw that it's a 53, I was thinking it was a 56. So don't bother packing it up lol.

So after poking around a bit more and talking to some friends. I am thinking about getting the Volume Thrasher. Seems like it's built like a rock and the tricking ability (after thinking about it) seems like it'll be best for me.
Thanks for the help everyone! Much appreciated. Nice to know there is a nice group of folks around.
