I found one and got it all set up to my liking. On a ride once, somebody
asked if the bike “planed” when it got up to speed. It surprised me that
someone would use a windsurfing description to describe a bike ride. After
that question I was determined to see if it did. What I found was that my

Hello Erik,
Nice looking Sequoia! I agree, my '82 has a nice ride feel to it as well. I
did a 60 mile ride this past Saturday on it, very comfortable, fits very
well. You can check the year of your bike by looking at the serial number
stamped on the bottom bracket. Mine starts with M2,
Hey Erik!

Yep, Costner rode a red Allez in American Flyers, fun bike movie. I'll have

My bad...screwed up the colors. Anyway, I do remember being impressed by
how thoughtfully these bikes were designed and equipped, and the fact that
your 82 Sequoia (and no doubt 83 Expedition) is still going strong is a
testament to that.
Other fun fact...I think the team bike on *American
Just so y’all know, TD is kind of a local legend. He is, after all, one of
Richard Schwinn’s best pals. I know this because I’m Richard’s 2nd ‘best

careful craftsmanship, but they pointed out that the bikes weren't

was a dark metalic grey one, but I think it came in dark blue, too. It wA
a fantastic bike, built by Toyo if I remember correctly. But I thought it
