Jeff V’s 1979 Schwinn Suburban HTF

Posted July 27, 2010

This is Jeff V‘s 1979 Schwinn Suburban HTF.


Hi Cameron,

Jeff V.  here.   I’m sending this to you more for your personal enjoyment, since it’s a 5 speed Schwinn Suburban, from 1979.   All original, except for new tires.   Just finished cleaning it up.   It’s a taller size frame with a 22 inch seat tube.   I believe the “wide fanny” Mesinger seat is original as I’ve seen these seats on quite a few Schwinns.

Before discovering OTS, I never paid attention to pie plates.   But thanks to you and your OTS site, now they’re the first thing I notice on bikes!  And this beauty has the largest one I’ve seen, a whopping personal pan pizza pie size at a full 9 inch diameter!   Pass the napkins, and let’s go riding after dinner!

Thanks Jeff
