A female rider in our club has one (and it's still in fantastic condition although she's never had it out of the conventional mode) Looking up info on the bike itsself, I keep seeing Houdaille-Schwinn. Was the bike itsself made by schwinn for houdaille? My understanding was that Houdaille had bought a manufacturer out with the sole purpose of having a mule they could test their products on. Those with info can e-mail me off list Rich Mc.
