  • Schwinn

    From PETER COGGON@1:123/140 to ROSS SAUER on Fri Mar 19 12:42:00 2010
    Hello Again Ross.,

    Quoting Ross Sauer to Peter Coggon <=-

    I was born in 59.

    Ok on 59 as I was born 48 and only exposed to USA and TV in near
    59, but then it was hockey and I was well on my way to skating etc
    and the TV time had to be shared with my family...so I saw GM ads
    etc.

    I remember reading about a 59 Caddy that killed someone standing
    still, a kid ran into that huge fin and it killed him.

    I believe you. Funny to read but they even had spearlike emblems
    so why not a fin too.

    When I was a kid I had a Schwinn, that bike was a tank.
    Could take a WI winter no sweat.

    When I saw you write about the Schwinn, it brought memorys of my
    time learning to ride 2 wheelers, and yeah..it was a Schwinn a real
    tank but what a bike.

    Thanks for the memorys Ross. It takes the pain away from the
    time I have spent in hospitals in the last few days. Sorry for
    the slow replys.

    Peter

    That's ok.
    As we get older, our bodies do tend to break down more often. <G>

    I loved the Schwinn I had, it was blue and white, and had coaster brakes.
    Those were great for skidding out on gravel roads and for leaving black
    marks on pavement. <G>

    Nowadays I have a Trek Mountain Track bike that's almost as solid.
