I think they’re beautiful bikes- but did you see the shipping weight? 59 lbs!

A few years ago I found a similar type of Schwinn- in Coppertone (no less!)- for $75. I was going to go for it until I attempted to move it. It felt all of 59 pounds. I love touring bikes- “weight” doesn’t scare me- but these bikes are in another league.

BTW- I did pretty much the same thing with a 60s Racer- thought about how cool it looked- and then tried to move it.

Nope.
