this is my old Schwinn suburban, after the rear wheel was broken, the frame languished for 3 years, until my sisters boyfriend needed me to rebuild his road bike in a frame that fit him better. the suburban was the answer. it had all the components had previously been on his Gitane (witch i built as well). the one original part is the super strong Schwinn front wheel (that i put with the Gitane) and the solid cranks with the classic 44t Schwinn ring. Erin, my sister, got Jeremy a Brooks B.17 for the bike, and just like a light switch it was "The Schwinn". He got to ride it less then 6 months however, his chain lock was cut by some heartless scum outside the SF farrier building on 9/11/10. The loss is deep for both of us...
