Ya, takes me back too! My sister may have photos. I’ll have check that out some day. Grew up in a similar time frame in St. Paul, MN. I wasn’t as tall but definitely lean. Don’t know if it was genetics, diet or just that I was outdoors doing “stuff” instead of being glued to a chair with my eyes focused on a computer screen.
Back then, the “cool kids” all rode Schwinn bikes! I had a Continental and my bike buddies both had Schwinns too. One had a Varsity the other a SuperSport. My Dad bought my Continental for me (it was used and a bit older but in great shape). I was a bit jealous of my friend’s “brand new” Varsity but realized the Continental was a step up. I was envious of my other friend’s SuperSport as it was a “step up” from mine. I pined for a 15 speed Sierra but that never happened. Oh well.
