Here’s a one-owner 1974 Crescent 10-speed, and it’s for sale.
Crescent orange, all original, beauty. Comment if interested, and I’ll put you in contact with her.

I have a  Crescent from 1974, bought in Waco, Texas. I would like to sell it if there is interest. I am now living in Kansas City. I have owned it for all of its 36 years and have taken good care of it.

Thanks Mary

Today’s “Monday Market” is so good I had to wait until Tuesday to post it. This is Chris U’s 1962 Schwinn Varsity Sport Touring 10-speed. Definitely one of the Top 3 Varsity here in the Gallery. (I would have called it #1 if it weren’t for that horrendous plastic pie plate.  Let’s keep ‘em chrome people!)

It’s official. OTSG will soon have not so crappy T-shirts available for purchase for a very reasonable $15 +shipping.  I’d like to get an idea of the interest out there, so please “vote” on the poll below for the size you prefer (only if you’re interested in purchasing).  Details to follow.

Twin Schwinns for twoday. Both Super Sports; both courtesy of Bill J; one blue ’72; one silver ’82; one for sale; both schweet.

Here are two beautiful Schwinn Super Sports – separated by a decade in time.
The first is a 1972 Super Sport. I believe that this bike already exists in the gallery (bob’s), but this one has a bit of extra flair; reflective tape and funny read caps on most of the bolts. A few notes; it was missing its rear pie plate and the rear derailleur does not appear to be original – though the suntour VGT might have been an upgrade for the era? Also, when I purchased it, it did not have the original brooks saddle. The best I could do is a time appropriate Japanese fujita belt saddle – with the Japanese rear derailleur, maybe it isn’t that out of place.

The next is a 1982 Super Sport. A minty. This one has already found a new home – at 25 inches, it was way to big for me. The 1972 is looking for a new home.

Thanks Bill

In case you haven’t heard, BSNYC is giving away a FREE Scattante. It’s neither old, nor crappy, nor a 10-speed, but hey! It’s FREE.

And if you’re still not comfortable entering a contest for a fixed gear bicycle (I don’t blame you if are), then you can offset that “dirty feeling” by saving this Beauty from jaws of fixedstration.
