That was a blast from the past-Hans Ohrt Cyclery, Beverly Hills, CA. They were late/great! I remember seeing their ads for pro bikes in mags like BIKE WORLD(Still in biz by the way; <http://www.gy.com/biz/451110/310.htm>, also a significant Schwinn figure, George Garner worked there according to "the man behind the curtain", see <www.sheldonbrown.org/chicago_schwinns.html>). That decal alone is cool to me. But really, the bike in and of itself has only nostalgic value. The frame is no doubt stout enough to be perfectly serviceable for your intentions.
Hans Ohrt is now Helen Cycles.. and they don't go back that far to remember.. (I called to ask them about it) But pretty cool history on it. It'd be neat if I could save the stickers. Kind of hard to do the it would seem, after 30 years.
