Hi all, My wife owned an Apollo back in the early 70’s when we were dating and for a while after we were married when she upgraded. She loved her Apollo! Two years ago I picked up this 1972 Apollo (a spontaneous purchase since the owner was asking only $25.00; and for the sake of nostalgia - it is identical to my wife’s previous bike). I love that it looks almost brand new. However, even though it is a good fit for me, this bike is the lowest end Apollo, and darn heavy, so I’ll likely never do any serious riding on it. And being in my early 60”s I don’t much like the narrow drop bars. I thought about turning it into a fixie; or, upgrading some of the components to make it a bit lighter. However, recently decided it’s not worth it for me. So I guess the only reason I’m posting is to share my Apollo story with people who care, before I sell it or donate it this Spring.
