I was pondering the idea of modifying a Schwinn Meridian 2008 model into maybe a 6speed. Before I go any further is that even possible without getting into major work?

If so, then what about expanding that idea into a 12speed by swapping out its current crank with an older Schwinn 10speed crank? Yes I know it would need a front derailleur. Is this even worth the effort? Thanks for ANY input.

Yes it can be done.Just get the parts for a ten speed bicycle and start to work on it. If you have never took of a crank set of a reg bicycle and replace the bearing or clean them then its going to be harder on you to do this job. You just have to think it threw and plan ahead. You can get most of the parts at http://www.BikePartsUSA.com

I have used them a lot to fix bicycles for people around here. Worth the effort you bet it will be. It always makes me smile when I see someone happy that I have fix there bicycle for them and I never charge them either this is about the only way I can help people and I like to see the look on there faces when they come to pick it up. So is this trike for you or some one? Either way I think you will enjoy working on it. It sure will put you to the test for sure you will think why am I doing this lol The only answer will be for the fun of it and fun it will be. And that Schwinn Meridian is a great trike my wife has the same trike and she loves it.
