I think they are real comfortable but Schwinn didn't exect all the kids to be jumping them ( not suppose to be sitting on the seat when you land ) so in late 80 Persons reinforced them by stamping some ribs in the frame, always funny when you see someone selling one as a 50's and it has those ribs!
i was thinking that those newer ones looked stronger thanks for that info

this is the one i actually want notice the ribbed area

1980, I was hanging out there a bit that Summer. My brother was in the Coast Guard, stationed on Point Bridge and was housed close by. When he was not on the boat, we were hanging out all along the South Bay Strand.

Yea, I was hanging out in the local Bait & Tackle shop that you can see in one of the pics, and on the end of the pier fishing in the late 70's. I caught this 30lb Halibut fishing on the end of the pier, and this pic was taken in front of that tackle shop on Pier Ave. It was all bicycles, and fishing for me in my teen years!
