I think the Schwinns of all levels are underrated. If your criteria is weight and weight alone, you end up with a very skewed sense of a bike's value. Once durability and versatility, along with overall price, enter the calculations, older Schwinns, I think, stand out as one of the best overall values around. I don't want to restart the CF issue over here in Classic and Vintage, but I really wonder about the durability of these very light weight bikes. We're talking about schwinns that are 30-40-50 years old and her and there even older being restored and still useful and fun to ride day in and day out...will you be able to say that about some of the newer bikes?
