There is such a great demand for Nostalgia items that you can now
go into a store and buy a brand new Scwinn Bicycle. It is a modern
production of the old Bike but I do not think that the Quality
is there. A rear coaster Brake and only one speed. It has the
old Metal Tank between the two upper Bars. These used to hold a 
Battery Pack and a Horn back in the good ol' days. They used to 
also have a small Battery Headlight on the Handle Bars (It was a very
poor light at best) and a Bell or Rubber bulb Horn. Full
Fenders, a Luggage Rack over the rear wheel and a Kick stand.
A small tool kit was attached to the rear seat. It contained a
Tire Patching Kit and a wrench and Screwdriver. It used what were called 
Baloon Tires, big and fat and used 30 pounds of Air Pressure.
