    Ryan H.,
    …can’t go wrong with an old Schwinn, nice job and color.(purple or burgundy?)–another 40 years, EZ.

    I would call that color “magenta”. Sounds better than pink, or purple.
    Great find and a greta restoration job!

    Restored Retro Rode Riding is Rife with Ryan’s!

    Nice job on the rebuild, especially love the le tour branded FD. You’d never know from the pictures that this was once a neglected old garage dweller.

    Sweet! Love love love a Schwinn mixte. ‘Aubergine’ is my suggestion for what to call the color.
