Well, almost. I'm trying to decide if 'restoring' a '65 Schwinn Racer is worth it -- need all new period-correct ribbed brake cables, a new S-A trigger shifter - AND shift cable..., correct grips, pedals -- Or do I try to unload it ...or just donate it... I've already bought new S-6 tires for it (cost me more than the bike!)

I have a 61 Schwinn Racer that I am going to spend more on than its worth but its so much like my paper route bike I get 50 years younger every time I ride it around the block. I have to be careful or I will be in puberty again and my old heart isn't up for that.
