Hello bikeforum,
I've been riding bicycles for a very long time. Just gave a 1959 Vittoria to a collector in Salem Oregon. 'Still buy old bikes and either ride them or give them to a serious rider. Saw a posting about "Free Spirit" on this forum. I just bought a 1984 step through that looks like it was never ridden. Interesting headlamp/generator, the thing is one unit piece, headlamp is part of the generator body. I may add mud guards but will keep the bike otherwise original. (Sachs-Huret shifters; Dia-Compe brakes; Japanese crank arms; tires (27") made in USA.)
