• Joe B.’s Concord Pacer S/S

    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.

      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.)

      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.
