I got this from a buddy, I think it's all original except the grips and tires? I'm not sure how old it is but that's one thing I'd like to find out. Seeing as it's a lugged frame I'm guessing mid 70's, but I'm not too knowledgeable on road bikes. I usually collect bmx, muscle, pre and post war cruisers. I have had my eye on it for a while now and had asked about it a few times and finally ended up with it. I have this and a minty Bridgestone CB1 frame set in my collection. Had a Raleigh made for a giant for a while, and a Cannondale I saved from a scrapyard, but that's the extent of my road bike experience. Anyways I'm 5'7 so I have to hop on, but no big deal. Anyways maybe help with a year and a relative value? As far as right now goes, I do plan to keep it, but I am curious of said value. I know it wasn't a top end Schwinn in it's day, and I don't plan on upgrading it or any of that, because I like it for how and what it is already. I'm guessing this thing made it 50 or so years as is, so that's how it'll stay. Anyways thanks for looking and any help or advice you may can give!
Also sorry for the shitty pictures, they are what I got before I stored it away. Hope they help anyway.
