Location: A parking lot flea market, 7:30 AM last Sunday morning.

Me: Hmmm, what's that?
Seller: Oh, it's my wife's old Schwinn. Bought it for her but she never rode it. Been sitting in the basement for 15 years untouched. Please, I really don't want to drag it back home!
Me: How much?
Seller: $10 ???
Me: Would you take $7 ???
Seller: (without a second of hesitation) SURE!!

Black Ladies Schwinn World Sport, around 49cm, 12 speed, Taiwanese Cr-Mo frame, but definitely on the lower end of the line for 1984 given the equipment composition. It still has the white sticker on the chain stay that says: "SCHWINN APPROVED GIANT". The kick stand is a little too long, making it tip over prone. I like the funky front wheel retainers!

Given that it has a few minor scratches and needed a good cleaning, I cannot call it excellent, but certainly it qualifies as extremely good conditions. It probably received more damage getting to the market that morning than in the 15 years prior!

My daughter wasn't impressed (she likes her Motobecane mixte better), so this one will probably end up on Craigslist before too long.
