There are plenty of good used 3 speeds out there, Just give it a little more time. I was at a garage sale, recently, & the woman had a completely original '67 Raleigh bike. Yes, I left with it. A local college girl bought it from me. If you like old Schwinns, keep an eye on this site's classified ads.
