    I guess you speak for all of us ...?
    (IMO that's a rude response also)

    If thats the original tire, it will need replacement after some use.
    (you wont find a white wall)
    If that tire is actually holding pressure with no cracks, you should
    spend some time and use and SOS pad on the whitewall.
    (it will make it whiter)

    Anyway ,,, you should clean the dust off.
    (the chrome will have a nice shine ... mine does)

    I'm curious as to what is hanging in the middle of the hub...?
    (maybe a mileage meter ...?)

    I also think, it could be good for parts.
    (cotter pins appear to be good, but can never tell from a photo)

    I know that seat post is desirable.

    Yes, but they might not be any newer than the on on there. Those tires
    were last produced around 1980 or earlier (the whitewalls). $100 is a
    little steep for a cottered Schwinn. If there were more collectors out
    there, then the value of old unicycles would go up!

    Also a better subect line would say something about a 20" Schwinn for
    sale.

  7. True white whitewalls are being made. My 20" 'Bogglefinger' made in
    Tawian uni came with one & that was bought new in June.
    If anyone wants to know the manufacturer I'll take a look later.

    They have to fit a 20" S-7 type rim ...

    That's why they are hard to find.

  11. on the topic of whitewalls (and off the topic from the original post)

    - I just saw a 20" maxis hookwork with a whitewall - a cool look on a
    cool tyre. The older ones had an orange wall.
