Nearby is one of the modified 1953 Schwinn DX bikes used in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,” the 1985 movie about a childlike man’s quest to find his stolen bicycle. There’s a 1901 ice bike, a kitschy 1949 Donald Duck artifact, a military-issued huffy bicycle bike with a machine gun mount, bikes that appeared in movies (Pee Wee Herman’s) or belonged to stars , and lots of Schwinns. As a bonus, there’s a Boy Scout cap worn by the first man on the moon, who grew up nearby.
However the return was as easy as the purchase, which eased my stress level. The bike looks nice but it was a pain to put it together. The front caliper for the disc brake wouldn’t release until I loosened it with an Allen wrench.
Practically I must go to bike shop to eventually be able to fix some of the issues. I know this bike is really cheap but no one wants to go straight to the bike shop right away with brand new bike. Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods.
This is a great bike for street riding or possibly light off road riding. Like all these bikes sold now days you may want to replace the seat, it is a bit uncomfortable. Will ship within 10 business days of receiving cleared payment.
Rapha today announces an all-new collaboration with Brain Dead, the LA-based international brand, creating a limited edition MTB collection of on and off-bike apparel inspired by nature. Tandems were all the rage in the 1890s, and Ignaz Schwinn built one for huffy beach cruiser his wife and himself in 1897. It featured a seat between the two riders to hold one of their infant children. The term “taking a header” is said to have originated with these tall, unstable bicycles, as many riders flew face first over the handlebars.
