I live for the CABE
Just finished this up and it has shot to my favorites list. 1962 Super Continental. This has a lot going for it. One year only bike (not even a full year), first Schwinn 15 speed, Lycett leather saddle, Huret components, great Radiant Green color (I have only seen pics of one other green one), Just a awesome rare bike. I wonder why Schwinn marketing changed the great Super Continental name to the uninspiring Sierra the next year? Probably got a cease and desist from DC Comics!! lol This one is a keeper!!!

OMG, that's killer! Any history on that beauty? It sure wasn't no barn find!

I wonder why on some models that they left the fork void of any paint making it appear to be a replacement
