Check out my new winter trainer: CLASSIC!
Dump pick. Lovely vintage Schwinn, made in Chicago. Great condition. Serial numbered. Appears really well made. Pop a new Brooks saddle on it and pedal away??

The really cool thing is that it will work for the intended purpose. It's the human factor that's usually defective. One of the last true statements on CL or FB is the description of excercise equipment, "Like New".

When I first saw the color, I thought it was an Aerdyne. Won't say those were particularly popular, but it reminds me I actually worked for a Schwinn dealer.

I think it would be fun to break into a Spinco location and replace all the high-end spin bikes with a bunch of these and see what the instructor could do.

Attach a cadence sensor and an HR monitor and start riding Zwift!
