Beautiful ride today, I rode my newly acquired '73 Schwinn Continental for the first time. It fits me so perfectly, so I am really happy with it. My only complaint is that it is freakin heavy!!! It weighs about 40lbs...with nothing on it.

About halfway through my commute the stem came loose and I nearly wrecked though...the bars went way left, the bike fell to the right and I just came to a stop hovering over the frame in the middle of the road, with a cop behind me none-the-less. I just picked it up and moved off to the side of the road and pushed it for the remaining half. Once I tightened the bolt everything rode smooth...60 degrees today
