Jeff, Pat, thank you both for all this effort. Looking forward to getting this homegrown rolling, and a nice way to start by giving it some TLP(aint).

Hi. Wow. So appreciative that you reached out.
I’d love to see it (can send pics to
m i s w a r t @ h o t m a i l . c o m )
and then make you an offer. Thank you.
MichaelI have built 3 of these bikes:
1 – 1996 Schwinn Pro Modified 1 24” Cruiser – Polished (Pictured)
1 – 1997 Schwinn Pro Modified 1 24” Cruiser – Custom Paint (1st Bike Owned, bought in 2004 and was told it was manufactured at Yeti)
1 – 1998 Schwinn Pro Modified 1 24” Cruiser – Bass Boat RedThis bike is the first year it was offered, 1996, and from the machined fabrication of the dropouts, extended chainstay yoke, no gusset on the top tube (‘97 added a top tube gusset), 6061 Aluminum, American-Made and the coup-de-gräs, the bridged “Ram-Air” seatstay that eventually appeared on the 2000/2001 homegrowns coming out of Anodizing, Inc. These are not officially called homegrowns, but they were… Y’all take a look.

From 96 – 01, Schwinn made homegrown mountain bikes amongst their various US facilities. They also made their Schwinn Pro Modified BMX cruisers in the states. They have machined extruded chainstays and stamped dropouts like the bikes that were coming out of Anodizing, Inc. in Portland, OR.
