Remarks -
* We are a private home workshop with many years' experience restoring and rehoming fine vintage bikes with adoring new owners. Our deluxe service is a disassembly to bare frame for parts inspections; every piece to be reused is cleaned & polished; reassembly includes a complete lubrication of bearings, springs, pivots, cable lines; and tune up. Replacements included new stainless-steel cables, new brake shoes, new thick inner tube, & new low friction bearing grease, and like-new-old-stock chain, rear gears, and pedals. The updated drive shifts smoother and quieter than the original 1964 French Cyclo gears she came with.
** To last a hundred years she needs a second lifetime owner... someone who will take good care of her like the first one did... keep her safely stowed inside out of weather, extreme heat, and direct sunlight.
*** The Schwinn Sprint is an overbranded Huret Allvit, a classic derailleur model that was produced for ~twenty years.
"Chicago Schwinn's were among the most bomb-resistant bikes ever built, and they were built with unique technology." --Sheldon Brown.
