Restored 1977 Schwinn Town and Country Trike

[user 13947]

This is a 1977 Schwinn Town and Country Trike. It's a 3 speed. The first pic is the day I got it. I paid $25 for it off craigslist, and saw the potential right away. 3 months later and here she is shining in the sun. These are great for taking my 4 year old daughter to the park up the street. She loves sitting in the basket!! New tires as the others were beyond repair. Original paint was able to be kept. Got a basket. New brakes and cables. Found an old Schwinn seat at a flea market that matched perfectly as this was missing. Rust free now and back to her glory. God bless to all...

Live right outside Harrisburg, PA. He was initially asking $75, but got him down to $25 due to the horrific condition it was in...
