I Think I Found the Forum I belong In

Since I'm 55+, I think this is where I belong. I was ignored in "Utility" and chastised in "Classic and Vintage", so I'll try here. If most of you guys remember when there were only three types of bicycle, coaster, three speed, and ten speed, then I'm in the right place. Am I right?
I've been looking for a three speed like the Dunelt I got at 9. I'm looking at the Electra "Amsterdam", and the Schwinn "Willy". (yeah I know the "Willy" is a 7speed, but it looks like the Schwinn 3peeds of old) Any thoughts on these? Most of the C&V guys told me to find an old Dunelt like the one I had, but since most of my wrenching led to trips to the bike shop to repair the damage, I don't think that would be a good idea. Another bike I've seen on line, but not at any LBS, is the KHS "Green". It seems like just because a shop is listed as a dealer on the manufacrurer's website, doesn't mean they have any in the shop. Any one know anything abut the "Green"?
