Back in my day (4 years ago) saved up all winter... Schwinn BMX, black everything, redline chain tensioners, red grips, kevlar seat, schwinn race petals.
Huh???? What???? What the hell are you young whippersnappers talking about?... I can remember Schwinn Stingrays.... that is about as recent as my bike memory goes.... Until I bought a 14 speed road bike with spd cleats.... now I leave little BMX dinks in the dust....
