Beauty is in the eye...
I have to agree with Chris "scrubbinrims". I as an artist find real beauty in some of the most unusual, odd ball bikes.
These bikes may not be on someones most collectible list, or they may not be very popular, but they are different and beautiful.
I collected classic cars for 40 years, and I have to tell you that I got very tired of seeing '57 Chevys, '67 Chevelles, and '65 Mustangs.
Yes, those cars will always be highly collectible, but way too common for me. Show me a '48 Chrysler Town & country, '65 Ford Country Squire Wagon, or a '59 Chevy El Camino.
Anyway, my point is that yes, I guess all of those Schwinns are highly sought after and very collectible, but I still find beauty in my '41 Rollfast, '47 Colson & especially my '51 Color Flow.
I am not bashing Schwinns, and I even have a few, but if everyone just had Schwinns, this would be one boaring hobby.
Everyone be proud of what you own, whatever it is......................Wayne
