From: An Island on the Coast of GA!

Bikes: Snazzy* Schwinns, Classy Cannondales & a Super Pro Aero Lotus (* Ed.)

As you said the picture is not that great but here's what I can tell you from looking at it: It has a kickstand, a straight (looks to be) steel seatpost, and a hanger for a center pull front brake. That being said, it could be an entry level Schwinn Approved Traveler or Le Tour, made in Japan or Tawain, and usually out of 1020 steel, from about '75- early '80s. In fact it looks a great deal like the red version of my blue '79 Traveler, made by Bridgestone. This is a picture of it before I ventured forth and converted it for riding in the mountains. Notice the chrome ends on the fork? Look at the headbadge for a small number. The last number tells the year in the decade it was assembled. To me the bike pictured looks to be a late '70s frame.
