I just recently bought a Schwinn High Sierra, down in Sacramento, then found another frame with most of the parts (no wheels), in Chico. So yesterday I got my “slingshot” stem installed. 😎
It worked out great, in a lot of ways. My old camera bag, that I carry my lock in, fits like it was made for this. 😁
Also notice, I finally got some low-rider racks, and the next day some old Bike Pro panniers for them. 👍 One actually has a seam coming loose, which I’ll deal with at some point, but they’re just fine for carrying big bottles of pop or water.
I see a lot better now, why a lot of folks put the weight on the front. It actually steers better, like it holds the front wheel where it’s supposed to be, even if you didn’t realize it wasn’t there. 🤔😉
