Bill's New Bike

Posted on September 9, 2008 17:02 by Billy

Well, its new enough.  It is new to me.  


It is a Schwinn World Sport.  I got it from a garage sale in Cleves, OH.  From what I can tell, it is a late 70's to mid 80's bike.  The bike was built by Giant in Taiwan. 

The bike is a bit tall for me so I have lowered the seat as far as possible and it works for me. 

So far, so good.  It is definately geared differently, much higher than the mountain bike I was riding.  The tires are 27 in and skinny.  This makes the gear ratio better to deal with and they make the bike much quicker and faster.  

Now I can't wait until I can get a new bike that's actually my size.  Later!

Love the bike. Hope you have a safe ride on it. Have you done the ride to work on it yet?
Does Elijah now get the mountain bike?

Yes, I've done the bike on it 6 or 7 times. It rides well even though the low gear is not so low.

Elijah likes his new bike a lot. He is completely done with the old bike, in fact, we have training wheels on the old red bike so David can use it when he wants to.
