First bikes. Wow. Mine was a 1950's with no speeds, and balloon tires and the paint looked like it was rotting off. It was a Schwinn but it's best days were well behind it. Finally saved up and bought a 24" Sears model with tall handle bars and a banana seat. Some kinda blue IIRC. Wanted a Schwinn lemon peeler but could not talk my folks into going to the bike shop. But we went to Sears pretty regular..Had a Mongoose (when that name actually meant something and you could only buy the frames) that I pieced together with tons of hard earned $ into parts, with 3 piece crank, etc. Those were the days.
