Hmm, I thought we had done this once already, but I was wrong. We've done it twice in the last year:

Which reminds me... I have to get a new photo of my Orange Norman. Keep this thread active until Monday, and I'll get to it!

It's so refreshing to see that beautiful classic after all the brifters, ergo bars and Thompson posts that have been appearing in C&V lately!

No, it's Schwinn Sunset Orange. Look at the first two pics; it's the same bike below. It just looks a little redder in the last pic for some reason.

I am not sure how classic this one is but it is unusual. !977 Schwinn Sprint. The head badge makes it an A[rill 1977 bike although the frame was built in earlier. This model is listed for sale only in 1974/75 but some 1976s are known to exist. I think Schwinn found they had a bunch of left over frames and built another batch in the spring of 1977. There is one other one around that was built in May of 1977. This color was never used on Sprints in the 1974 to 1976 era and the decals are different also than the earlier bikes. Roger

That's a broken record of a song that you never tire of. I could look at that a few times a day every day and it would still make me smile.
