Mark probably camped out like a deadhead waiting for a Grateful Dead concert but inquiring minds want to know what car he drove? HRP
Haha, I rode my 72 schwinn continental 10 speed to Wayzata and stopped at the drive in on the way back.... 18 miles
OK......so you have a large handful of custom cars, gads of petroliana and auto accessories, a VERY custom lawnmower, who knows how many other trinkets, and now it comes out that you have at least one vintage bicycle. I gotta ask........might you have other vintage bikes? (I scored myself a '62 Schwinn Corvette, and a '64 Schwinn Typhoon at an auction a couple months ago.) Roger
5400 miles over 2yrs !!! That's some excellent exercise. Work the legs and the whole body responds. I wondered where you got your superpowers. I rode a continental years ago like you are, Mark. All the time. Started going to a gym. I was amazed at the leg presses and squats I could do... from all that bike riding. Nice bike. Mine was yellow. No fenders. I flipped the handlebars for a more upright riding position and a better grip.
I have a green Schwinn Continental somewhere here in the shop. I haven't seen it in 10 years, but I'm in the middle of a shop reorganization, so I hope to find it. It's all original, and I hope it's still in good shape.
That's a good looking bike! I have a pawn shop Varsity. I ditched all the gears, laced up a Bendix coaster brake and ride it all the time. I call it the "Wino Express" !
