I wonder if schwinn bikes were better back then, they certainly looked cool as hell.

    Yeah and no gears either so you would never go particularly fast on it unless you were going down a hill, and you will pay when you go back up the hill. Still, I have always preferred a steel framed bike and these things could make interesting projects.

    I’ve ridden one almost exactly like the one in the ad. It actually does have gears, but not a traditional cassette and derailleur like you’d expect. There’s gearing inside the rear wheel hub. Some kind of planetary gears, I would assume. I think it was only three speeds, but still a really cool, unique design.

    Is that Peewee Herman's bike?
