I miss my Schwinn 4 banger ...

[greenstiles]

Any one in the uk got one / frame they could put a pic up or ........dare I say it talk of parting with theirs one day

I kinda miss mine too-here's a pic. from last year, before I sold it.

Thanks Pat, very nice.....mine was the all blue one. When they motor along they are a really enjoyable and capable ride.........used to keep up with other guys on more travel on quite rough stuff when I used to live in Wales.

You'll notice the 2005 125mm Fox Vanilla fork I added to it.It worked well with the 100mm rear travel, just slacked the head angle a little bit. Was a great downhill bike, just didn't climb as well as I would have liked, and we have nothing but hills, ridges and mountains around here.

I like 4 Bangers.

i'll put my pics up for you later...I'm in the UK and love them.

have a two 4-bangers (one cracked front end so just for a spare rear) and 2 straight-6s (of the same design)

but only have one s6 built at the mo, I love them so much I tend to buy them whenever I see them even if it's just for spares to keep my main one going

I love the lawhill rear end on those (and Yeti's of a similar vintage)

Here's a bad pic of my old one.......Psylo's work well on them.......the original spring had me bounching all over the place, but with a 50lb heavier one it was transformed

I´ve always wanted one of the homegrown ones. They come up on ebay us every now and then.

It took me a while to find my first one, then had to look even longer to buy one that was not broken. :x

I just bought a spare homegrown front triangle a few months ago that has the painted stripped, and can't decide what to do with it. Has anyone ever repainted one?
