| | New build I recall reading about a schwinn Point Beach,Im gonna do a new build and may just go all the way and replace the bike itself,I saw this schwinn and thought it may do well..any feedback or things I should know?
Also,I would like to know what others are using for oil,its difficult to find a fully synth.I find synth blends,Im sure that would serve for a while but I wanna do the right thing on my new one!!

| | Re: New build schwinn Point Beach has an aluminum frame so I wouldn't use it although a lot of people do
My mate with 5000 miles on a 4 stroke Grubee just found a crack in his Point Beach on
the top tube in front of the seat
Too many opinions on the oil issue so ....... Quote:

| | Re: New build my engine ripped off my real brakes on my mountain bike,well they really didnt but almost and they took a while to stop if at all even with new brake pads and needed adjusting everyday.
so i got a schwinn del mar with coaster brake and can stop on a dime and never needs adjusting,
btw if you want you can get a caliper brake for the front,it bolts onto the fender mount.
