I have an '86 Schwinn World--made in Taiwan by Giant. Not a Chicago Schwinn, so by law I'm not permitted to call it my "Old Schwinn".

My commuter is an '08 Kona Dew.

Once I discovered Sheldon Brown's website, I got interested in making my Schwinn go again.

My brain went numb reading about all the different sized 26 inch tires.

I thought I would climb onto a ledge as I read about rim and tire sizing.

Once we move, I'll be back on a bike daily to and from work, at least.
