Rick I kinda had the same bike. My parents couldn't afford a new one so my Dad pieced together one in "Daytona Yellow" decals and all. Then eventually I got a 1980 Schwinn 36/36 freewheel in red for X-mas! I'm gonna start digging for pix.

When I made it past the training wheels I had a Schwinn Pixie. The Scrambler is in the back. Notice the towel on the seat in an effort to prevent dry rot. You can tell I was raised in a car family.

Then the Schwinn 36/36 freewheel. I am pretty sure this was taken on Xmas day. I eventually "Day 2'd" it. Haro handlebars chrome, Oakley 3 yellow grips, Suntour gooseneck in red, red Alloy pedals (cant remember the make) and lightweight seat. I pulled the front brakes and replaced the rear break lever with the "2 finger" lever. Can't remember who made that either. Oh yeah and a set of yellow Snakebelly tires. I think I had a number plate with "01" on it. Wonder why I chose that number.
