guy on CL had an ad for 2 red schwinn racers.
$100 each.
i called him this morning and he said he had one left.
i said i was interested and he said he would drop by with it after lunch.

he gets here, and i see the bike.
its got potential, but its not in great shape.
then i look to the back......3 red bands!
2 speed kickback!
its in ok shape. maybe its a little loose.
it is slipping in one of the gears.
i will try and work with it.
its got brand new 26 x 1 3/8 tires
the riser bars are pretty cool too.

long story short, i offered him $60 and he said sure!
he works at the bike coop and said he has his own warehouse full of bikes.

here she is!

NIce Score! It's mighty hard to find some schwinn down in south georgia! $60 wasnt too bad!
 
this will be one of my early 2009 projects.

repaint the thing. clean it all up. add my old brooks b72.
add my double rear baskets. add fenders.

this will be my grocery / errand bike
