It's the Schwinn Bicycle Army of One Speed. Well, slightly more than one speed - Positron II singulator hack allows a stop-and-kickdown/up between the remaining cogs and I've re-installed a front derailler for high-low gearing, dingle-speed style. Metal spoke protector salvaged off of a very old dumpstered Schwinn EA3 wheel. Random LED flashlight mounted in found U-lock frame holder.
