Schwinn Tango Review. Overall, I liked the value for the dollar but the performance of the bicycle was way below par due to designed limitations. Top speed is around 10 mph unless you are Lance Armstrong (BMX type gearing).verall, I liked the value for the dollar but the performance of the bicycle was way below par due to designed limitations.

Bismuth is a non-toxic heavy metal with a specific gravity of 9.71 (when alloyed with 3 percent tin). Compared to lead with a specific gravity of 11.12, Bismuth is 87 percent as dense as lead. Steel, with a specific gravity of 7.86, is only 71 percent as dense as lead.
Bismuth compounds account for about half the production of bismuth. They are used in cosmetics, pigments, and a few pharmaceuticals, notably Pepto-Bismol, used to treat diarrhea. Bismuth's unusual propensity to expand upon freezing is responsible for some of its uses, such as in casting of printing type.ccording to the United States Geological Survey, the world mining production of bismuth in 2010 was 8,900 tonnes, with the major contributions from China (6,500 tonnes), Peru (1,100 tonnes) and Mexico (850 tonnes).
