vintage 10-speed

Probably close to 25 years old. Collectors will be looking for these someday.

 

This one is a Ted Williams, Free Spirit. By my standards, a very uncomfortable bicycle, but good for going a distance. Sure, modern bikes have springs in the frame, gel seats, 97 speeds, 32 inch wheels and weigh 1.527 pounds . . . OK, I got a little carried away, but I'm sure modern bicycles are better. I still ride a 3-speed.

 

Did you notice that this one still has the plastic germ-collector bottle? Also rat-trap pedals. It's very close to original. I wonder where it was made?
