    Went back in military at age 40 in 2008, been bicycling since age 24. Medic AIT in San Antonio I bought me that bike new at Wal-Mart and rode it for 16 weeks. A few times during the week to the gym and all over San Antonio all day on Sat and Sunday. It was creaking and squeeking by the end, but she did the trick. When I went home after AIT, I parked her for someone else. She was gone when I got back, so hopefully, she went to a good home. Salute $100 Wal-Mart bike.

    Fun video as always. Taking the frame insert screws for later use is likely as much as you’ll get for it. I do hope someone who needs it will get some use out of it.

    Good video format. If you ever do those restoration projects again, something like this would be great for it. Maybe not the whole project, but some parts at least. Cheers.

    My mtb weight 18kg and the road bike 15. Both steel and with time you not feel the weight anymore.
    And they are noname brands but nobody knew because the tags are removed

    If the rear mech has that adjusting screw, you can put a little piece of cable in there and make it a “dinglespeed”. It might work for a few gears. You can shift at least a little but it will still be like you did it.Search that term here on youtube😅

      I mean check out my channel, I've done a lot of videos on various bikes, here is one on a different Schwinn.

    Liability because it doesn't have lights on it. Is my guess.

      yeah I thought about that too, but I don't think other companies do that, sort of weird.
