Spotted this nice Schwinn locked to a parking meter a few blocks from home yesterday. Great to see someone using this survivor and the shop is from Downey Ca, my birthplace so long ago.( moved when I was 3 months old, lol) Would like to meet the owner and find out the story of the bike, original owner or local 30 something hipster?

Unfortunately, by the lack of inventory, it looks like Russell's Bicycles may have recently gone out of business.

But, it's nice to see that one of the bikes they sold is still around.

Thanks for posting!

Visited Downey a few years back to collect a pre-owned Lejeune machine I had purchased from a private seller.

Likely originally imported by Mulrooney's. 1973 advert, same year as example purchased.

This King Size American showed up at the ride today.

It's nice to see that this location is still a bike shop.
since, 1909!

I guess no more lifetime tuneups at Russels. Love that it was on Firestone. My dad worked for Firestone there in the late 40s early 50s after the war. He worked for Firestone's "Missile and Space division who built half of the rockets for the Corporal Missile Program. He switched to Lockheed and in 58 was moved up to Sunnyvale working on the Minutemen Program, like half the dad's on our block.
