David J’s 1974 Schwinn Continental

Posted

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! After last week’s plumbing pipe theme, I think we could all use a little Electro-forged goodness. Leading us out, is David J’s gorgeous David J’s 1974 Schwinn Continental.

Hi Cameron, here is photo of my 1974 Schwinn Continental. I saved this one from a thrift store about five years ago, it cost me a whopping eight bucks. It had the wrong handlebars and seat which I have corrected since then.  She is a great riding old ten speed and I love the color. David


Here is a picture of my Dad’s, Brother’s and My old ten speeds in front of Coates Cyclery in Pomona Ca. Both the green and the yellow Varsity’s were purchased new from this dealer.

Thanks David

    Nice time-warp Conti, David!
    I’ll go way out on a limb and speculate it wan’t nearly as shiny when you bought it!

    Even thou the color isn’t my style, the bike is in great shape. I especially love the dealer pic. That sign is amazing!

    Ditto the sentiments on that sign! Schwinn’s relationship with its dealers is detailed in the book ‘No Hands’ which I’d recommend to anybody interested in Schwinns.
