I have a 70' SS that I found in my uncle's barn. It was fixed up some time in the 80's and they did a bad job. I plan on redoing it with full modern stuff. The bike is much rougher than anyone else's I see on here. Over 25 years in a leaky old barn deep in the NC mountians does terrible things to old Schwinns. For classic, I say get the 72 and update it. Old filet frames do make the best resto-mods out there next to old European makers. The Panasonic frames are better to me if all you wanna do is clean tune and ride. Either way you will be owning an icon of American cycling!!
