Curb alert, fillet brazed Schwinn.

Is this a Super Sport? Lyme CT is just a little too far out of my way for a darned curb alert. What a tease;

I'd give it a shot, looks like a Super Sport or maybe a Sport Tourer. E. Lyme isn't that far from anywhere in RI.

I don't think it's a fillet-brazed, I'm seeing Le Tour on the downtube.

I've never heard the term "Curb Alert". Does that mean people put stuff by the curb & it's free? Thanks. I'm on the west coast and have just never heard it.

Someone should tell Peter Weigle, maybe at that price he might do a 650b conversion... Now that would be something.

You know, I think you're right. I never think of those when I see that shade of yellow and the little round headbadge. I feel better now. Thanks.
It's just that the local CL has been crawling with FB Schwinns and I just don't have the time or the money to be traipsing across the state for one more bike.
