Hello everyone, my name is Jon and I just got a mid-70s Schwinn Collegiate 5-speed to commute to work and campus (I'm a college student). I'm fairly new to the whole commuting by bike thing, as in the past I've just relied on the bus system. It's definitely a learning experience since I've never really worked on bikes that much before this year, and I've never had a friction shifting bike before.
I'm also working on restoring an old Worksman Cycles tandem that is a similar vintage to my Schwinn. Right now it is just a pile of pieces, but some day it will come together.
I'm sure I will have some questions from time to time, but until then, I just thought I'd say hello and start doing some reading...
