Thanks for this reply. I'm learning day by day and one day may buy something besides a Schwinn. I know enought about the Schwinns to stay out of trouble.

These bikes get overlooked often.

Sometimes they sell for $1,000. even $1,200. but those were very clean examples.
I won an auction for one a few years ago in the middle sizes for under $800.
A deal in my view.

If they suffer a bit it is for the design of the lugs in my opinion, they evolved from the earlier historic style and are a bit clunky.
They do ride well. Just not a lot of cache.
