I registered the bike on their website here http://www.schwinnbikes.com/ and I hit the contact us button and filled out the little comment form located here http://www.schwinnbikes.com/contacts and this is the email address that was received customerservice@Pacific-Cycle.com.

I just might take you up on that offer. On another note, I thought the spoilers were 2005 as the earliest production but I received an email from what is left of Schwinn support and was told my bike was made September 15th, 2004. So 14 days ago was my bikes 7th birthday, but the information...

I checked out those riv nuts and they seem to me like they are too large, here is a link to a photo album that shows what I am talking about. http://imageshack.us/g/851/img0108nm.jpg/

Nice rear on that bike, I was more attracted to the wide tire of the spoiler but if this works for you then that's great, but wouldn't a wider wheel provide more stability? also in my opinion it didn't look bad with all of the washers but I would assume there was alot more movement to them then...

great looking rotors I want a set.... On another note, I took the bike out today to check how it rode, WOW love it, but after riding about 200 yards one of the spoke nuts (nipple/s) on the back wheel broke, seems to be made out of plastic, so I assume that the guy I bought it from did some...

Yeah that is why I wasn't considering the local shop, I know it shouldn't cost as much as they wanted I mean I was looking into having my car painted a couple years back and was quoted at $400 with the pinstripe detailing that I wanted at the time and this was by a shop in northern Wisconsin.

I asked a buddy of mine who has a friend who works at a local paintshop and they said that they would do the base of what I want for around $500 and that includes a chrome "dipping process" for the bars and sandblasting and primer and the matte drab green on the fenders and frame. however they...

ya know, I'm not a fan of painted handle bars either, I mean I might go with a blackening process for them since I would think the chroming process on those bars would a) be a bit expensive and B) look a bit of a mess because of the tight corners around the cross hairs and end up leaving a...

here is a pic I pulled from google that was from a C.L. post that has since been deleted. if you notice, it has a little cross-hair in the middle like the fighter planes "of old".

I paid $500 delivered to my door so not a real bad deal, also I might be able to get ahold of some Amsoil chrome polish tomorrow when the auto shop opens, however I would assume the Turtle Wax chrome polish would work just the same, for Amsoil it's about $6 for an 8oz bottle and Turtle Wax brand...

I just got the bike, the paint has a little chipping here and there but still is amazing looking and not noticeable unless you are looking for them. I'll have to have a go at it tomorrow to clear at least some of the minor surface rust on the chrome. other then that it is solid and in great...

it would be about an 80 mile / 2 hour trip there but if the price is right I'm willing to travel. the last time I was in Janesville was in 2008, I was going trout fishing and the big flood hit and ended the trip a bit earily.

you made me re-read over my post several times there to make sure I didn't mistype or misread something, I didn't mention repair (god I hope I dont have to repair anything other then maybe a tire or two a few years down the road) I did type repaint however, the bike I am getting has some wear on...

Nice build RallySTX (Brian), I'm picking up a Spoiler on Saturday, and plan on turning it into a winter project (you know how these Wisconsin winters are, although you have it a bit better; I live in Kenosha so we have the big pond to deal with). I also entertained the thought of looking for a...
