I collect, restore, and custom build BMX bikes, I can no longer ride them but I can 26 inch and up.

I bought and recieved the very last Schwinn USA built BMX frame ever made, the 2002 Pro Modified Prototype, one of three built, Schwinn did not produce the design.

I have been collecting Schwinns USA built Pro Modified Racing bikes for eight years now, in the later years they included designs shared with Schwinns "Homegrown" bicycle line.

I also own the only known existing 1994 Schwinn Factory racer, the first aluminum Schwinn BMX bike ever made which became the Pro Modified line from 1995-2001.

So now I have five unique frame designs in 20 inch and just picked up the earliest 24 inch BMX Cruiser design frame for a total of eight bikes.

The only known complete collection of these bikes to exist.

So yes, I got the bike of my dreams.

If only I could ride them.
