I have an opportunity to pick up a Schwinn Continental II all original except for esge fenders, that is in excellent rideable condition, great paint finish on frame--only some flaking on the decals. I checked the Schwinn site and apparently they only made it for 2 years. Beautiful black finish, but it is the 26" (huge!) frame--anyone ride anything that big anymore? Price is $22.50--is it worth picking up for its 'rarity' value? Thanks! ***P.S. This bike is NOT the one currently showing on Ebay!

Yes I do. But if is too big for you... pass and wait for something your size. I just picked up a 24" continental for $8 cuz I wanted to harvest the sweet chrome fenders off it.

Noah Scape is right; size counts!
