After two hours, we made it, and I was shocked. In the pictures that I received, in the classic behind the garage bike pose, it looked like a red Schwinn Continental. This Schwinn Continental however was not red. It was sunset orange... wow. While a a Continental is not much more than a fancier Varsity, the color in this model is hard to find. At least around here it has been. Some of the cycling collector forums have eluded to the same in other places as well. Back to the bike... it is in pretty good condition, new handlebar wrap, but those rarely survive, newer tires, but the rest is original and with a slight patina of rust on the chrome. The paint is good with some scratches. No surprises. Well worth the trip. In all with the cost for gas, and paying for the bike, it cost me less than a trip for coffee and a muffin with the kids.
