Let us know when it gets here and your take on it. As far as the weight is concerned, I had a Schwinn Suburban a few months ago I picked up at a garage sale. That thing was so heavy that I could hardly lift it! It was upright and since I was only using it for errands, not serious riding, the weight didn't matter at all! Really! Then I fell in love with my Bianchi mixte, (well, it was a very superficial relationship as it was built only on looks, not comfort,) but that Schwinn was terrific to ride. Somehow it seemed really solid. I sold it at MY garage sale, and I see it around town all the time, so as far as the weight is concerned, if you are planning on putting a basket, flowers and a jug of wine in front, your bike is just going to be FUN! And I have yet to find a mixte that is as heavy as that 1976 Schwinn.

I'm excited for you! What does your DH think about all of this, and the fact that you may drag home 10-15 bikes on Friday???
