MemberI have a 99’ black/gold HG Factory Team and must admit I like that combo a lot better than the reversed gold/black.
Kinda like having an old hot rod with 99% flames and 1% black paint.JohnnyQPublic
MemberCongrats on the sweet frame…and welcome to the Homegrown cult 😉

MemberDo you have any pics of the bike?

MemberWelcome to the “cult” and congrats on the bike!
I really like the cool bassboat green…however, the Elite is made from 6061 aluminum (my understanding is that Yeti only did the work on HGs made from 7005 Easton aluminum). It is still an awsome bike and still very light.

Membergadkinsj,
If you are still on your quest for a 21″ blue/silver HG…here is one on ebay that just popped up for $250.

MemberYep, check out page #3 in the 1999 Schwinn Homegrown catalog in the Catalog Scans on this site.

MemberNickG, Homegrowns are definitely unique and high qualiity. You have put yours throught “the works” and she still works fine…which proves the point of high quality. Have you seen the prices for new bikes still Made in USA? Yikes! Your bike (and those of us on this site) were made by people who loved bikes for people who love to ride ’em. I considered many times selling mine after seeing the prices some get on “the bay” but go to your local bike shop and see the quality you get from new bikes and the components offered..
Whether you keep or sell you can still post some pics and show us your Tomato

MemberThere is a nice gold bike on ebay right now..but it’s the whole bike & only 5hrs left.

MemberHey tmax12, sorry to lead you down the rabbit trail
but to my eyes it “looks” like a 19″ like mine. I would trust the actual numbers you have over what I see on an internet pic. It could be the wall behind your bike in the picture makes the geometry of the bike appear a little off…the seat tube length on yours vs the pic I posted look different.JohnnyQPublic
