1960 Schwinn Continental...with Suicide Shifter

[GTs58]

All the Continentals from 1960 until mid-year production 1961 had the suicide shifters and then it was upgraded to all Huret components and a new decal package. The Varsity had the suicide shifters for 1960 and 1961, and it was upgraded with Huret for 1962. There were no other 10 speed models in 1960 and 1961. In 1962 the 15 speed Superior was introduced.

MIGHT be letting this one go. Value?

I'm just guessing, but I would have to get at least $350.00, and $500.00 or more may be realistic. They just don't turn up in that condition very often. You do very nice clean up work on your bikes.
