I have great reverence for Schwinn bicycles and one of my most ridden bikes at this point is my 1970 Schwinn Collegiate which I converted to a Sachs Pentasport IGH last year. With that said, the English bikes tickle my fancy a bit more than the Schwinn bikes. Pre-Raleigh Hercules are my main interest, though Raleigh bicycles are great machines too. I bought another quite rare Raleigh on Saturday when I purchased my 1961 Fiorelli tandem.
