Homegrown Dual Suspension

Greetings All,
I am a long time Schwinn fan (mostly road bikes) and I am looking at getting a used Homegrown Dual Suspension like the one pictured (I'm getting older and my Specialized Jumpstumper hardtail has become too bone rattling). What are some of the things I should be aware of when buying a used dual suspension bike? Also, how easy is it to get replacement parts if needed?

Bikes like the Sweetspot really only have one replacement part - the swingarm bushings. You can still find them, either from old Schwinn stock, or I believe some of the bushing companies still make them. Might be something at McMaster-Carr, or Igus may have them. Sweetspots are pretty reliable overall. They don't deliver a super plush ride if that's what you're looking for, but compared to a hardtail, they're luxury.

Just scored a '99 Homegrown complete this morning for $75 :eekster: :thumbsup:

Used but not abused. Small frame for my son but can't wait to get her tuned and cleaned up. Should like nice along side my Homegrown.

I had one of these 4 Banger All Mountains. Mine was a 15". Loved that bike! I sold it last year and bought two HG's to replace it.

My 98 Homegrown XT, Changing Fork and headset out this week, and possibly the cranks. I'm just getting back to riding and I'm worried the Kookas might be a bit dangerous.
