Sykerocker, congrats on getting that Tourist. Riding my wife's '75 convinced me I needed one for myself so now I am in the middle of fixing up a 24" '69.
Now that she has the Tourist her Schwinn Suburban just gathers dust. She finds the Tourist faster and way more comfortable. I put the orange Koolstops on it and braking now seems adequate, where before it was frightening. Here it is before the Koolstops and obligatory "Midwife" headlight.
