My reply was tongue in cheek.
The quote I was replying to, in my view, was pretty absurd. The point of the toilet-paper dispenser being the way it is, is to emulate the rear end of a bicycle. It doesn't exist as a "convenient toilet paper dispenser", so flipping it upside down to facilitate toilet roll insertion, defeats the whole purpose and value of it. The dropouts have to face downwards. If they didn't, it wouldn't be the rear of a bicycle and there would be no point in its existence.

Little pricey, but it looks to be in great shape.
[h=2]Vintage 1977 Schwinn Superior - $575 (lake st. louis)[/h]
For sale - 1977 Schwinn Superior that has been hanging in my garage for over 30 years. Bought new by a friend to rehab a broken leg. Used for a year or so as evidenced by the original tires that are still on the bike.

I kinda like this one, with the chrome socks, chrome lugs and bar-ends. Not in the market, tho, plus it is too small.

Now this is a top end frame in need of paint and worth the investment.

But in the interest of full disclosure, I own a Rauler. One of the cleanest 70's brazing jobs I have ever seen. Comes in second only to Ron Cooper, in my experience. The ride is swell too.

A fair bit of patina, but I know some people like the holdsworths and 63's aren't always the easiest to find (I'm always jealous of the selection available to those of you who can ride 56 or 58).
