My Sister's Schwinn

[Goldenrod]

Thanx for the responses. In order ..

Rivnut. I live in a desert where the sun shines 300 days a year. A good suntan is unavoidable.

Goldenrod. Of course it's got a clutch. Centrifugal. You pull a rope to start it. And a throttle. As far as dangerous, are you kidding? 3hp on a bicycle? Thank You for your concern but I ride a Vintage 360 Yamaha that's got 35. My cheap Chinese pedal bike hit 32.8mph that day I rode it down Hwy 38 outa Big Bear. At the tender age of 62 I hit 99mph with a 175 on the lakebed at El Mirage. Had a 5 year bout with stockcar fever over a dirt track Pinto. Sportbiking over Angeles Crest Hwy and while I was real careful where I did it that bike was good for 135mph. I'm not worried about this bicycle. It'll be fine.

On the handlebars I wonder what member of the family put that hole in 'em. I'll replace.

I am relaxed and supportive. Great job. I will be posting two like-yours bikes soon with cool additions you can copy. We powder coat our rims over the orginal chrome.
