Ahh, I see, never knew that although I have heard the name Les Lunas somewhere before and until I saw yours with the yellow bar tape, had never made the potential yellow and green Eugene connection either.

Here’s my 1977 66cm fillet brazed Schwinn Superior “Hot Rod” with Huret retrofriction shifters, TA cranks, etc. Heavy, but it rides GREAT!

Hey- twinsies! Here's my 1977 Schwinn Superior- also 26". Mine's a resto-mod, No more stock equipment (except for the headset). It's got a first-series XTR drivetrain.

Green 26” Schwinn Superior

That’s a great looking Superior. Love the “curated” upgrades!

A true green one but it started life as a purple Specialized Vita. Not vintage but it is green

My '87 MB-2. Now in commuter-mode but as soon as it gets nicer the rack goes on the shelf and the road tires get replaced by knobbies. No disc brakes, no ginormous cassette, no 6" of suspension travel, but she still takes on trails at 35 years young and it's a blast!

Can’t remember whether I have posted this one. It’s no longer in the stable, but definitely green.

Haven't posted here because I don't know if this is considered green or blue (Celeste seems to start out sky blue, but change into a shade of green over the years), therefore I'll post it here and in the Blue Bikes thread once it comes around again
