Joe B.’s Concord Pacer S/S

Posted

How about this one. Joe B. sent in this Concord Pacer S/S and can you believe it’s not even an OTSG first! This Pacer appears a near twin to Sean’s from several months ago. Whoever said you can have too much of a good thing, obviously didn’t ride an old ten speed.

Commuter Extraordinaire!

I was looking for a Schwinn Suburban… This is close enough. An “Old School” comfort saddle, raised handlebars and Suntour shifters & derailleurs make this bike a joy to ride. I added a handlebar mounted water bottle cage, rear rack, panniers and all new brake shoes to stop the squeaking!

Thanks again Joe

    Hey Joe, Great bike! I had a Concord Freedom 12 aka Selecta 12. It was a great bike. I wish I had kept her.If it doesn`t workout I have a near mint Suburban (1980) for sale. I think it might be a few tons heavier that the Concord though.

      I have a LT. blue Concord Freedom 12 (Selecta 12) about 33″ standover(1980?), and a brown Freedom 10 with a 35″ standover(1974?). Anyone interested in one or both. Both are nice riders. I got the Freedom 10 from the orignal owner last week and he road it to work until last year. I road it today. The Freedom 12 has new 27X1&1/8″ tires and tubes and new white cork bar tape. Both Japanese steel lugged frames with Shimano componets.

        Hi Tim,
        Sounds good. Post these details and some pics in the Emporium. It’s free.

    You can’t go wrong with an old Concord. I gave a 1970 something Concord Mixte to my 80+ year old riding buddy . He rode over a thousand miles last year, most of them on the Concord. According to Pfaff the only things left after the apocalypse will be cockroaches and steel Schwinns. There may be a surviving Concord or two also.

    That’s a great looking commuter. I just picked up a Varsity that I plan on putting upright bars on, going for that kind of bike. (I submitted it to OTSG in it’s original form… look for it soon.)
