The classic Schwinn frames took tons of abuse, so frame-wise, that's
not necessarily an exaggeration. But along with that "strongest" frame
you get the single bolt that holds it all together, and only 1"
increments of seat post adjustment. I can't recommend that to anyone.

Yes I too was amazed to see the new Schwinns with the "main cap" style
bearing attachments. And it's not a Viscount seat either. Is that one
of the many variants of the Velo? I don't think so, some other type.

Other changes from the Schwinns many of us grew up with:

- Alloy rim
- 48 spokes
- 2.3" tire (up from 1.75")
- 150mm cranks (too long)
- 9/16" pedals (that was probably updated in the 80s)

Nice to see the old frame design is still around. Afterall, what is
more traditional in Unicycleland than the old classic American Schwinn
(now made in Taiwan :(­ )
