• Roger’s 1978 Schwinn Sportabout

    After yesterday’s news about Rock Racing, Roger in Utah sent this picture of his 1978 Schwinn Sportabout in the now much sought-after Lime Green. Roger, I would not be surprised if you receive a call from Mike and the boys looking to relieve you of this little emerald gem. Be firm, my friend, don’t settle anything less than $10k.

    My 1978 Schwinn Sportabout. Bottom of the line for Schwinn racing bikes for that year. Also the only year it was offered in that Lime Green color. My daughter borrowed it for a while, and christened it Kermit, because of the color. Thirty eight pounds of quality Electro Forged Chicago steel!

    Thanks Roger
