I need to remove a link of the chain and adjust the Schwinn cantilever brakes. Oh, almost forgot, picked this up in neighboring Northwest Indiana. I say in very good condition with what looks to be all original parts, except the tires (I think this one came with black and white wall...

One from last year and parts for a future project. Big thank you to Alan bonds and his site, Ductape, J_Westy, and tam_shadow. [/img]
