Super clean and sharp looking Conti. Best color too.
Over the years Schwinn offered the Varsity and Conti in a Sport model and a Tourist model, along with the option for fenders on the sports models. A Tourist model always had bow pedals or the standard block pedals of the time along with fenders, a mattress saddle and upright bars. The lightweights in the 70's were really popular and Schwinn had numerous different models to choose from. The 74 Conti was only offered as a sports model since the new 10 speed Suburban took the place of the Conti Tourist. Same situation as with the middleweights of the earlier years, why have duplicate bikes with a different model name.
To make your Conti a Tourist model, you'll need new pedals, bars, brake levers and saddle.
