Another Pristine Collegiate 3 speed WOW

I didn't think they got any better than the Black one I posted a few weeks ago....Well, I was wrong. This bike is stunning.

Very very pristine bike. Even the brochure looks as if it has been in a time capsule. Great find

Is it bad that I want that bike. To ride. A lot?

Very very nice

Well, I am not a collector and flip ( eventually sell ) every bike I buy

That is definitely a C L E A N machine! Is that what they call a 17 incher? The downward rake to the rear looks really cool.

I will be keeping an eye out for it...

Truth is, something that nice would be a burden for me. I would ride it, then regret the deterioration. That's the conundrum.

That is what some folks refer to them as the brochures list them as 17" 20" and 22" frames. My black one is right on 22" and this blue one is dead on 18" from the top of the seat tube to the center of the bottom bracket. Close enough I suppose. All they really did is slant the top bar down on an angle 5 inches or so to the seat tube. I love the look.

I have had bikes that I have ridden for years and years and they have never deteriorated. Keep them clean, dry and always in a garage when not in use no reason to age.

That bike looks brand new! I have a camel-back Collegiate Sport with 24" wheels and a camel-back Varsity with 27" wheels, but I don't have one of these frames. What year did they drop the camel-back frames for this type?
