Since we are covered with a foot of snow in the Upper Midwest, I thought it would be nice to see a bike that screams tube tops, knee socks and beautiful spring time weather. Alice (from California) sent in this ’77 Schwinn that certainly does the trick. All this picture needs is a basket and a red and white picnic blanket. Thanks for sharing “Birdie” with us Alice.

Side note: Look at the size of that reflector on the handle bars!

Alice Said:

This is Birdie, my 1977 Schwinn Sportabout. She was abandoned on the curbside on trash day, rusty but all original, even her bar tape. I replaced her chain, cleaned off a lot of rust and repacked her freewheel. She’s a fun ride.
