As a factory trained Schwinn mechanic, and one who appreciates American craftsmanship this bike blows my mind (has been blowing my mind since I first saw it):

Steel stem shifters, Opaque Green, looks pristine to me, even the tires look NOS. No paint rash on the chain stay. Beautiful survivor.

Sweet...now that is what is meant by ‘just driven off the showroom floor’ but then looks like it has never been used.

I lusted over those when i saw them in the window of bike shops in Bozeman and West Yellowstone in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Of course, as a starving college student there was no way i could afford one.

Now that i could afford one (maybe?) there’s no point since we live on a steep long hill and my legs ain’t what they used to be.

For me and where I like, this is more practical. How much do you think it cost? (No cheating)
