I wish them the very best
But $800-900 price range seems like a deal breaker to me for that type of bike.
They should dial in on the old sporty bikes and make them as close to original construction as possible - instead of eventually pumping out more $125 Chinago versions.
Those would sell in good numbers.
Bulkheads with smooth contoured transistions instead of butt-welds
Thin forged front forks
Make them the real way they were made. Or at least fake that look somehow.
I found a picture in some on-line vintage Schwinn literature the other day that showed the Bulkheads were actually forged with the first few inches of the frame bars made into the assembly. The frame bar welds are actually a few inches back from the Bulkhead.
Never knew that.
Always thought it was magic or something
