Here are some pics of the recently acquired '79 Schwinn Conti II. Over the last two weekends the bike has been cleaned and made rideable. From here I need to install new gear cables, and looking to drop some serious weight with a couple 700 alloys. At this point we are 90% original, new seat, grips and brake lines. I love the black and saddle brown coloring.
I wish I had some before pics to show - I always get too excited and forget to clip a few--maybe next time.
Cheers,
Chris
