Thank you. I will watch that. I started working on the Schwinn Hurricane last night and I made it a little better but still not perfect. It still rides pretty darn smooth though. Do alloy rims seem to give a smoother ride than say steel ones? I noticed it when test driving cars when I we bought our 2009 Ford Focus. I drove a few models with steel wheels and the ones with the better rims seemed to feel like they rode nicer. Maybe that's the case with bikes too. Because that hurricane feels particularly smooth and it has Weinman alloy rims on it. I did put new tires on it though too. I probably said all that earlier.....




Schwinn tires from Kmart nevertheless. But I like the tread on them.
