#5 Point of trivia:

Bike in the graphic is a Schwinn Heavy Duty, sometimes referred to as the 'paperboy.' Manufactured in the early to mid-1960s. If you can find one in the condition as shown (with original saddle - as shown), the price will be in the $1000. range. (handle bars appear to be from a later model).

Price when new, about $62.

* Forget about finding the rear fender newspaper baskets.

#6 I remember commenting to my wife, "Remember when bikes looked like '52 Buicks?"

She replied: "Yeah, they were like pedaling '52 Buicks too."

#7 Re #5, in the early to mid sixties, $62 was $1000 present day dollars (OK, that's a bit of a stretch, but still...)

#8 #4 reminded me - I just ordered some more Made in America Socks

Not inexpensive, but they last.

#9 Somehow, I don't think of Volvo, London Taxi, and MG as American Companies.
