If you have any extra I would appreciate one. Paypal or however you want payment.
livernoseParticipantBesides mine, that is one of the nicest ones I’ve seen. Very sparkly.

livernoseParticipantThat looks like a 1997 judging by the Bassboat paint. Much cooler than the 1999 blue paint.

livernoseParticipantNice bike there, and doesn’t look to be ridden much. Change out the tires and stem and she;’s ready to ride. Good luck with your sale.
livernoseParticipantLooks in good shape plus it is the 2001 version with the rear IS brake mounts. I would say it would fetch $450 to $500 in my area of the country. If I were you I’d keep and ride it. Us retired guys have to stay in shape.
livernoseParticipantBike shop can do it for you. My local bike shop uses a clamp on guide and hacksaw. The guide is to make sure the cut is straight. Then just sand the edges so they’re smooth. Those Titec posts are plentiful and not expensive if you want to go back original.
livernoseParticipantVery nice bike. Looks in great shape. Always liked that paint scheme.
livernoseParticipantThat actually looks more like a 21″ frame. Frame size is measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube.
livernoseParticipantThis was their info, but they seemed to have gone away in 2003.

livernoseParticipantAwesome find. You found a Unicorn!
livernoseParticipantI like the Rockshox SID or Fox RLC100 or F100. If you’re running disc you can use pretty much any shock if it has an 1 1/8″ straight steer tube. If you are running V brakes you’ll need to find a shock with brakes bosses. I like the old SID Dual Air years 2005-2006. Very light fork and pretty easy to rebuild and priced right. I also like Fox RLC100 and Fox F100. Not as light as the SID but larger stanchion tubes (32mm versus 28mm) and a little more rugged. I usually look on a popular auction site, or post here on the “wanted” forum, or both. Also, make sure the steer tube is long enough for your frame. I usually look for one with at least an 8″ steer tube. I ride a large frame.
livernoseParticipantNice.
livernoseParticipantAs far as I know, Factory refers to the model ” Homegrown Factory” versus a regular Homegrown frame. It was a higher end model frame with higher end components. I have no idea why schwinn used the term “Homegrown Factory”. Somebody on this site probably knows.
