Walking back to my car after shooting my 365 today, this rode by. Ok, I'm going to date myself on this one but anyone my age will remember the Schwinn Orange Crates. Right Pete? After I got home and researched it, this is the 1999 retro. (no gear shifter)

The original 1969-1970 was a five speed with a gearshift in the middle. I had one!

The bike Pete not the pink hair.

The springer fork and the rear shocks are what I remember most. If you had one of these, you were massively cool!!!

I was not even slightly cool. :(

I had a Schwinn single speed with coaster brakes. Unfortunately, I had to share it with my "Older" brother which meant I only got to ride it when he was asleep or at school. Now that I think about it, at those times, I was asleep or at school too. Sometimes, when he wasn't looking, I'd jump on it and ride off. This resulted in a sever pummeling when I returned.

Yeah, I tried it earlier on another picture that didn't work and had the sparkles still cranked up.

Now that you mention it it does look like an old Mopar motor that they used to build this portable sawmill.

Portable… and where is the safety guard? It sure looks like a mean machine.
