I paid $128 for a 1970 Schwinn Continental, which I ended up riding from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis (~400 miles, when I was 13) and from Cocoa Beach FL to Indy (1,100 miles, when I was 14). Went with a cycling group called The Spokesmen. Fond memories of that wonderful bike. I'm currently restoring a 1974 Continental to reclaim my childhood a little!
