Good looking bike, it looks like a great rider. I like that it already came with the crank adapter already.

My preference is for Suburban and Continentals because of the better and lighter tubular forks. I have a Varsity now that, if I use start working on it, I will put a tubular fork on from another bike. Like I need more working bikes. Or even another electro-forged Schwinn bike. But I do like them, now, in my older and I don't care what people think, years.
