They come to me!!
I wasn't even trying, honest.
I'm leaving work the other morning, after my night shifts, and one of the incoming day shift guys is like, Hey, you like those Schwinn bikes, right? Well, yeah! I've got four of them in the truck if you want them. I was helping a friend clean out a storage building.
I check em out and it's sure enough, four green Schwinns! All lightweights, 3 '69s and a 73, 2 mens "Sport Collegiate", one Breeze and one women's Collegiate.
They weren't free, but the price was right. I didn't even have to go looking for them, I just get the fun stuff: dust 'em off, shine the chrome, and fiddle!
Oh yeah, 6 good tires and 7 good tubes out of the bunch! Couple of missing brake cables, derailleur parts, odds and ends that aren't correct but by and large untouched originals. Probably sat for 25 years, judging by the filth and the complete lack of air in any of the tires. Enough to build 3 good ones it looks like!
I didn't mean to bring any more home, honey, honest! Oh... you like that Breeze do you?
Rollin' in the green!
