My old MTB with new fenders
Schwinn bikes were made strong but they had their own standard sizes for every thing, thet makes it hard to find part now.
The Varsity, Continental, Suburban (upright bar Varsity) all have 27"x1-1/4" wheels, which you can still find parts for.
The stems and seat posts are a goofy size, but Wald still makes a Schwinn size seatpost for these more popular Schwinns.
Also, a trick I learned is to insert the seatpost upside down so there is no tapered end to deal with.
I think old Schwinn bikes could realy use a Cyclone motor, because ub motors will not fit them and it maybe impossible to up grade to hill climbing gears.
