Ok, you win, that is absolutely one of the coolest things that anyone into bikes, from any certain era, could have happen.
I was hoping to follow the typical life line, as the Schwinn rep and the owner of the Schwinn shop i worked at told me. In my mind, it was a perfect plan. You work for a well known shop, you move into a sales rep position, you work that, until retirement comes, which, generally happens when a shop owner wants to retire, you buy that shop and live happily ever after. Funny thing is, i was studying law and business at the time. Sadly that was the time that Schwinn started going in a different direction, and the same people who encouraged me to follow that route, said, hit the brakes, things are going away and you don't want to be on that r8de..
Picked this up today, not like I needed another bike, but was a screaming deal.
