Nice bikes! My buddy for years rocked a "Home Grown" Tech has come along ways since those were produced though. Ever ridden a nice full suspension bike? Life changing !The Trio as I call them.
The two bikes on the standing rack are mine (on top) and my wife's. The lower picture is my 70 year old mother's bicycle. We got all of them in the summer of 1998. I believe it was two years later that Schwinn sold the entire line to Pacific bicycles and became a Wal-Mart brand. So these are some of the last lines of lifetime guarantee Schwinn frames.
I've maintained all three of them for the last 22 years. Last year my mother's got fully rebuilt with new gears, new cranks, new hubs, new bearings, cleaned and flushed everything and reassembled it. Mom's was the hardest looking of the three given that it wasn't in my 24/7 care for the last two decades. Mine and my wife's are both in top shape with the exception that I think my shocks are finally going. Paying the price for the shocks that fit to keep a bike that is honestly too heavy and antiquated is going to be hard but I might just do it because of how good of shape these are in for Mountain Bikes.

Those shocks are easy to service if the elastimores aren't cracked. Little slick honey and she'll bounce like new if they aren't. If they are cracked might still be able to source them from Rock shoxThe Trio as I call them.

Been a while since I could ride in the backyard. Here's my everyday ride in the summer:
22" BMX , custom weld job from Dave Harrison, Pedal Driven Cycles.

I put my partner’s giant trance on fb marketplace and flipped it the same day. Bikes seem to be a hot commodity even with winter setting inYou done riding?
