Unbelievable rare bike picking run thanks to CL ad!

[Nostalgic Dave]

Cost of entry?

Exactly. And it's all just for fun for many people anyhow, it's not about "how much it's worth".

Value can be too much of a distraction sometimes.

I rarely watch two hours of anything! That’s a pass for me

Your loss.

Nope that’s saving two hours of my time for something more productive. I have no interest in lower tier lightweights of any brand so why would I waste my time? V/r Shawn

Is it just the 2hr conti vid, or ANY of his videos you might learn something?

I learn something with just about anything I watch but the subject matter has to be something I'm interested in and these bikes don't appeal to me. V/r Shawn

I think Freqman1's statement is a fair one. I love Schwinn lightweight bicycles, but I don't expect all vintage bike collectors to share the passion I have for them. This is what makes the vintage bicycle hobby so cool, there is something for everyone! TOC bikes don't do a thing for me, but I understand the importance and collectability of them, I just couldn't watch a two hour video about one!

 

[Quakertownrich]

His videos are of Schwinn Lightweights, Krates (Sting-rays) and others. The entertaining part is the process and attention to detail, not the "low tier" or whatever bike. Paramount, Superior, Sports Tourer, World Voyageur to name a few.
I appreciate the effort to continuously chime in you have no interest though.

What I initially thought was amusing was the effort to obtain a considerably common and
typically reasonably priced bicycle...
20 years from now they'll be Bluebird money and I will have a good laugh indeed

Where he lives, vintage bikes(no matter condition) are hard to come by. Where you live you might not be able to swing a dead cat w/o hitting one, but some areas of country it's not so easy.
