I have an opaque blue one I picked up a few years ago. It was 100% original when I got it. It had been stored in a shed for many years and I'm embarrassed to tell you what I paid for it. The original tires still had the vent spews from casting. I guess it had less than a thousand miles on it. The tires and seat were hopelessly dry rotted from the Texas heat and the East Texas humidity had rusted the chrome. I greased all of the bearings, replaced the tires and tubes. Did the aluminum foil trick on the chrome. Put on a saddle from a later model Schwinn Voyageur and started riding it. It still has the original cables although they were removed and greased. I love it.
