Thoze are some the guy made up recently designed more like a BMX jersey. I got 4 of those for everybody in the family.
NIce Jersey! As for the overheard comments, I had a guy sort of whisper to his riding partner that I was on a cheap Walmart Schwinn. His partner replied, “You don’t know what you’re looking at, do you?” I assume he filled him in beyond that, but I was out of earshot.
My son gets the same thing from his friends when he’s riding his Homegrown. It’s a 2001 Factory black anodized frame.I’ve never seen one like this at Wally World.
Yup! That’s the same frame I have, but built into a sub-20 lb. SS. It is my go to ride (except when I rode TWE in Moab, last fall).
Nice builds guys!
Those later anodized frames are freaky light—sometimes scary light. Last one I threw up on a scale was 2.9 lbs. Schwinn chose to go with the anodized finish because it saved something like a couple ounces of weight.
The Bass Boat finishes were notoriously heavy—all that metal sparkle and clear coat.

Agreed. My fork at 3.4 lbs is a half pound heavier than my frame.

I’ve got SID World Cups on my 2 Undergrounds. They are light and work well. Pretty much older SIDS on all my other Homegrowns too, except a 27.5 Manitou on my 01 Limited because I’m using 27.5 wheels. The SIDs are easy to service too.
