Here is yet another from the past. 1960 Jaguar. This one has the two speed kickback and optional front brake. First year for kickback? Jaguars were the top of the line middleweight and had a $84.99 list price. That's $852 in todays dollars. Optional brake was $3.35 (32.85) and whitewalls $1.25 (12.63) Imagine trying to sell your parents on a bike that costs that much. I suppose parents spend $900 on their kids bikes these days but still pretty strong. Remember no credit cards back then but a lot of Schwinn stores did offer the make payments plan which I think was a big success.
