When I was a teen in the early '70's I and some of my friends had a Schwinn Continental. I believe it was about a $250 bike back then so it wasn't cheap but wasn't a fortune either. I remember the Schwinn Paramount being many hundreds of dollars, perhaps even 4 figures but I can't recall for certain. Someone stole my bike out of my garage. I don't recall what I got to replace it, another Continental I think. I don't know how truly good they were but at the time they were the best bikes available anywhere to a guy who couldn't have a car yet. Anyone else have fond memories of the Schwinn Continental? Some other oldie but goody?
