Schwinn Straight6 / 4Banger

[lamparito]

I am looking for a Schwinn straight 6 (only produced during 2001, the yellow one) or 4 banger frame (does not matter the year, homegrown or not).

Size 18 for the straight6

Size 17/19 for the 4banger
homegrown

non-homegrowm

Do no knot if you can consider them retro but i do (sorry i am wrong)


Thanks

Thanks i will look at it, in principle i prefer a straight6 but a banger will be ok too.
I just got a frame with a broken main pivot (i do not think it is reparable) that will provide extra parts for the rear arms if needed in the future. As far as i know both straight6 & 4banger same the rear part no matter the size of the frame.
2 pics with the broken main pivot

So still in the hunt!!

My mate has one of those yeti's although i lost contact with him a few years ago. Lovely bike. I've been looking for a 4 banger homegrown in the gold for a while and a straight 6 in bass boat red. The ones i've found have been either the wrong size or in the usa and the seller wont post. I'll keep my eyes peeled though will pm you if i find one in the colour you want.

I understand you look for a straight6 "DH version", with the pull shock, right? I will let you know about any if i come around one too
