1979 Schwinn Spitfire 5

Just picked this up. Was looking for a beater I could do a Cruiser/BMX thing on, and found this. The Atom drum brake hub sealed the deal.

Cool score. This 1978 Spitfire 5 that I found at a yard sale is what actually led me to find RRB back in 2009 after the seller told me about the site.

Someone let the cat out of the bag around here... they'd pop up from time to time and I would think to myself...'I need to snag one of those at some point!'. Then covid happened, now when they show up it is more...'I sure wish I could afford to snag one of those someday!'.

Cool bike

They are still out there cheap. I found that one on FB Marketplace for $125.

The last few I've seen locally are in the $450-650 range...and the were all pretty hammered. I saw a homeless guy with one at the 7-11 a couple weeks ago and I almost made an offer.

That's a pretty good deal you got there! I might've seen that on Marketplace a while back.
