I have owned three Schwinns, all purchased used: early 1950s American with 2-speed Bendix coaster hub, early 1970s Varsity, and 1988 Project KOM-10 (Tange Prestige, Team USA red, white and blue paint). By far the best is the one I kept -- the mountain bike, which was successor model to the Paramountain.

What brake levers are on the bike? From the picture angle, they dont look like Tektro RL and dont look like TRP.

Dunno.

My 'Schwinn' is a Gunnar Sport. That's a pic I grabbed because I liked the bike.
