I was on my 78 Schwinn Spitfire today. Good 30 miles or so. Rode to Orange and back with The Hippy and Tripple3. Had a great time talking with friends new and old. Can't wait for the next ride

I'm not there to diagnose it of course but I've seen (heard really) those pressed-steel front hubs make a noise like you're describing when the cones are too tight. Might be something to check.

Thank you... I think I'm gunna need some help from people tomorrow when the shop shrugs me off. I've got a video of it doing it.
There's nothing rubbing. Doesn't matter if I'm peddling or coasting. Could be bouncing up and down on the springs... Nothing really triggers it. So I'll just be booping about and every few seconds there's a fwap like I hit a huge rock...and I can feel it in the handlebars.

To be honest, I don't know what I'm doing...but by the end of solving this problem...I have a feeling I'll know more

I wouldn't ride it until you figure it out. It does sound like the front hub to me.
Does the wheel spin real easily and keep spinning for a while, finally settling to a stop with the valve stem down, or doesit slow down failry quickly after you spin it?

Something else you can check is the springs. Make sure neither is broken. They are pretty tough, but they can break. The lower part of the fork also has a weakness at the fender bolt hole and the fork can break into two pieces at that hole. Not sure if either of those would cause your problem, but they might and are worth checking.

I forgot to mention but on the Orange Circle City ride yesterday we got a police escorts for a few blocks and a stop light. We had quite a few kids with us so it was much appreciated.
This was the only pic I was able to snap, felt like I was breaking a law or something with the phone out, taking a picture, riding through a intersection, with a cop looking at me.

Me & my buddy went out for a little ride. He probably has a squirrel in his sights that's like 500 yards away!
