Bill S.’s 1973 Schwinn Continental

Posted

After yesterday’s Bianchi got everyone “in the mood” for Spring and the official start of riding season, I thought I had better dowse you all with a good wholesome Schwinn.  I hope this 1973 Schwinn Continental, sent in by Bill S., will do the trick.

    That schwinn is a beauty. That bike is the back you go back to when the Italian Supermodel breaks your heart, and its always there to pick up the pieces, and then you remember what you fell in love with in the first place.

    I had the twin to this bike once. Bent the frame and had to part it out. Good luck with yours,you have a real classic.

    I recently restored a Schwinn Caliente very similar in color. Old bikes are KEWL!

    Hey I’ve got either a 72 or 73 Schwinn Continental. It’s orange (not metal flake)and I bought it when I was 13yrs of age.
    How do I determine which it is?
    Thanks,

    I have a 1973 Schwinn Continental, fully original except for a replaced rear wheel and new bar wrap.

    It was my grandfather’s and I love it, but it’s too small for me and I live in a city with hills so its weight has also become a bother.

    It needs to be re-cabled, but is in good order otherwise.

    Anyone have an idea what it may be worth? I don’t want to be the jerk on craigslist asking way too much.

    Thanks!
