New England Newbie

Newbie from the Southeastern part of Massachusetts, here! The last bike I had was a Magna MTB as a teen that felt like it weighed 1000lbs! Recently though, I scored a 90's Schwinn Passage so I joined to poke around and see what I can find out about it and its original state. Thanks!

Welcome from a former South Shore resident! Loved riding to the Cape, but I don't miss the winters!

So much for that, I flipped it for a profit and bought a 1979 Schwinn Varsity Sport. Turns out to be a girls bike, but such are the risks with CL purchases!
