I have a Schwinn Col. Sport in excellent condition. It looks like it has been in someones basement for twenty years. It's a mixte frame and I'm thinking it's not worth much as a classic Schwinn. The great thing about it is the Sturmey-Archer three speed rear hub. I would love to build up one of my old road frames with the three speed Sturmey.

What do you think? Should I try to sell the whole bike or should I build a three speed road dream machine?

Go to the Schwinn forums and ask them. Those guys know everything about Schwinns.

Thanks for the tip. I might send them a note and see what they think.
