Thanks, Mr. Bernie!
Man,Thats a nice gift. The lower model Schwinn Middleweights,with painted rims/fenders have always been my favorite. Something about that "spartan" look. I'm looking for a nice set of black 26" Typhoon fenders to put on mine. I have a decent set of painted S-7s too.

This 1970 model just got added to the lineup.
I was 10 years old in 1970, and a Campus Green Schwinn Typhoon was the bike of my dreams.
So, it only took 49 years to achieve.
That’s not too bad.
I must thank the original owner, for taking such good care of my bike all these years.
It’s got a couple of incidental scratches, but other than that, it’s still brand new.
I may doll it up with the racks, pumpkin light, speedo kit etc.
Well, see.
For now, I’m just loving it as is.

I had one just like it about 30 years ago
 
Here is my 1969 Typhoon. Original paint. It's a bit flaky PO left it out in the desert sun. Original grips and fenders. Replaced seat but the worst part is the gooseneck. There is a large crack which allowed water to get down and now it's rusted solid. I can't raise or remove the handlebars. Chinese tires are 26x2x 1 3\4 and they roll good.
Bummer.
But what else are you going to get from a thrift store.
