The Schwinn Homegrown is one of the most sought after hardtails there is. Some were made by Yeti, some made by Control Tech, and others made by Anodizing Inc. in Portland, OR. The later ones were known for their flashy 'bass boat' paint jobs, but I'd be happy with the earlier ones that were black or red.

Back in '22 I posted a wanted list with five bikes, and I thought it was time to update the list, as I was able to buy two bikes from that list. So, here's five more bikes I'd love to find; The Schwinn Homegrown is one of the most sought after hardtails there is. Some were made by Yeti, some made by Control Tech, and others made by Anodizing Inc. in Portland, OR. The later ones were known for their flashy 'bass boat' paint jobs, but I'd be happy with the earlier ones that were black or red. Way back in the day a friend of mine had an Alpinestars cr-mega DX and there was nothing else like it. I especially like the graphics on them, though I'm torn between this black XT and the yellow DX. I'd prefer an aluminium one, but the steel ones were good too. Just about the least controversial or surprising thing I could say, as the Santa Cruz Chameleon is one of the very best hard tails ever made. Build it as an XC bike with an 80mm fork, or as an all-mountain bike with a 100mm fork - it's fine either way.
