Why not… 1974 Schwinn Continental. Picked it up for $13. Was supposed to be a quick flip. The snowball started rolling with the chrome fork crown cap. The original was cracked. I found one on ebay. I paid a ridiculous $30. Evaporust, Bar Keepers friend, Flitz, clay bar, rubbing compound, liquid carnuba wax, new decals, Schwinn cables/housings, Hunt-Wilde bar tape, etc. I stopped keeping track after $100. Restoration? Close to being on the road again. The most over restored Schwinn on BF for the year award?
