Chrome Continental Pic (this one is for Bob)
I know you are away 'till the 6th, but I thought you'd enjoy this photo when you get back.
Take care,
-Kurt
P.S.: Let me know what I owe you for shipping, and if you still need the 1R binder. I'll get a stem off the CR list for you.

Did you just have that frame chromed? I never heard of a chrome Continental its nice to know someone else spends obscene amounts of money on an old Continental, I love it can't wait to see the finished build

No, found three of these chromed 1980 Continentals in the back of the LBS, along with all the toasted conventional Varsity frames. Appears to be factory chrome jobs:

That looks very clean. Build it up with red cable housings.

1980 - all three of them. One is three months apart from the other, the two remaining are only 300 serials apart.
Doubt if they are in the catalog. I've also heard that the 22" ladies' frame was discontinued in '81 as well - have yet to look at the catalogs and confirm any of this.
Sorry, silver/grey (as always on my builds) when it is a Schwinn. Black cables would compliment the headbadge though.

Glad I could help out with the build! I'll keep my eyes peeled for more Schwinn chrome bits!

What are you running for the RD and FD?

FD is the run-of-the-mill rebadged Huret used on the Continentals, while the rear is what I believe is a later model of the Alivit, as used on the late '70s/early '80s Continentals and Varsities. Forgot which Schwinn "GT" model it is.

One of the other members said he might have another Continental II chrome donor fork, but college has been taking up most of his time so far - might have to wait a bit.
