These are the bibs I wear so it looks a lot different when I'm on it.

Another beautiful bike. I don't know, you just have a level of taste and detail that always knocks me out of my chair. I feel comfortable in saying one blanket "Fantastic bike" that covers any and all bikes that you will ever own. Your bikes make me want to try to build exact duplicates for myself. Do I have permission to copy you?

Absolutely. Thanks for the compliment, Matt.

Do you have a photo of the entire bike? I've never heard of a Schwinn Volare, except for one of their recent models. I truly like the orange color, and its condition looks excellent from what I see so far.

Without clear pictures, no one can give you an accurate appraisal. Please repost your request, with pictures, in our Appraisals forum. Classic and Vintage Bicycles: What's it Worth? Appraisals and Inquiries
