This one had a more interesting story. After the customer bought it, the car carrier he hired caught fire and all the cars got crispy.

But I'm with you. I prefer everything Dave designs. Plus, he's a VW guy which always scores points with me. I think I'm going to install a set of his door handles on my Ghia.

Really wanted one of those but in the “Orange Crush” version, but ended up with a 10 speed instead. More gears

Me too. But probably couldn't afford it back then. If I remember they were about $89 where as a new non-Schwinn was about $59 at the time or something.

I got the clone model... But I turned out okay.... Uh, didn't I?...

Went back to see what you & Old Guy were drooling over

Dad told ma about this bicycle he bought back in 1950 or maybe 51, was a Black Phantom by Schwinn....seemed like it was 50 or 60$, can’t remember right off. But had a paper route & saved up his money to buy

He can still to this day tell you every detail about it

I’ll have to ask this morning otw to work about the year & cost

But I’m back now......... so what did I miss ?

Sorry to hear Rick; my dad is 85 & 8mos......

Though he maintains a pretty strict schedule for himself; I can tell that he’s gone down a bit over past year or 2.
Glad your dad lived a long life & I cherish the current days I spend with mine

No comment on my stuff yet
