Schwinn Straight 8 Lawwill, BoXXer World Cup Air,Hope, Saint

Retro Newbie
Sad to see this go, but am moving to the big smoke, so it’s got to go fast!

Built this awesome rig up when I used to work at a bike shop in Sussex, only rode it for a few days in the Alps and a couple of times at the local spot. Handles beautifully.

An amazing opportunity for you to be the proud owner of this very high spec bike with some extremely rare and popular parts.

The custom paint job by FATCREATIONS (cost £2000) matches the pearlescent white of the forks and will get you a lot of good attention where ever you go.

Few scratches and chips on the paintwork from the chairlifts, it is purely cosmetic, and they’re barely noticeable.

No rust anywhere, everything is lubed/greased appropriately (used to work in a bike shop for 3 years) so you can be sure the bike has been looked after well.

The bearings are all working smoothly as I’ve never jet-washed the bike, it’s just had a gear service (including new cable), the brakes are incredible and the suspension is set up beautifully plush!

It’s ready and waiting for you!

3,2,1... nathan where are you? :LOL:

nice bike & a free bump, my piece of advice is that for your price you will need a buyer that really appreciates the paint job, so upload a few nice closeups.

Nice bike again!
 
how much travel at both ends
what size in inches
how much does it weigh
would you sell the frame an fork how much ?
 
lamparito, nobby the sheep and jimjim cheers guys!! Yeah can't believe it's going!



Hi Dan28, thanks for your questions.

8 inches travel front and back, hence the name Straight8.

The frame is a medium. Can't remember how many inches, can be measured if you want.

When she was at the bike shop for a check over and gear service we wacked her on the scales and got just over 39lbs. (39.04lbs if i remember correctly)

She did weigh less (about 35/36lbs) but had to buy new tyres and thicker inners for the Alps.

Not really looking to sell frame and fork separately unless I get a great offer. But for just a bit more you can get all these high spec parts for peanuts with your frame and fork!

If you broke her down for parts, you'll get more for her anyway, but I just need a quick sale!
 
Veeeery very nice ride mate!

Well out of my budget I'm afraid.

How are you running a pro 2 on the rear?
 
Cheers Nathan! Yeah she's a beaut!

Just removed the non-drive side spacer and everything fits into place spot on!

Have you had one of these before then?
 
Yep, I currently have:
1999 4-Banger - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2786/430 ... b5b8_o.jpg
1998 Straight 6 - http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m159 ... 1267062286
1999 NOS Straight 8 frame - http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m159 ... 1267062329

I also raced national level here in Aus on a 2000 Straight 8 between 2002 and 2005, but that bike was stolen in 2008.

Among other bikes :)

I just remember when I blew the hub out on my 00 S8 it took us ages to hunt some down. Ended up getting some Edco ones in from the states for myself and Nathan Rennie (he was on the Yeti DH9 at the time)
 
Ah rad! Much love for the Schwinns then!

Yeah had someone asking me if I've got a spare chainstay lying around for a DH9!

Shame about you not having a Straight 8 any more. Could always ship her over if you need another :D

Whenever I rode it, people always came up to me asking about it! Seems to be a real classic! Did you get the same?
