I immediately swerved my car into a questionable parking spot to check it out. The store owner came out and suggested I take her for a spin around the block.
No sooner did my feet hit the pedals and I was in love. 
The gear shift is a little tricky. I have to pull that lever down and hope I hit a gear because there's no markers for where the gears are. I've just kept it in 5th because I'm sorta afraid of it. 
"I'll take it!!" I said as soon as I got back to the antique store. I loaded my new toy on my bike rack on my car and brought it home and got to work. I added new reflectors on the front and back wheels, a reflector on the back, a water bottle holder (this was tricky because there were no holes in the body of the bike where a water bottle holder would normally screw into so I found the one you see below in the kiddie section and just rigged it to fit), the luggage rack that fits over the back tire, and the ghetto fabulous crate that fits on top. 
I've been riding this schweet schwinn everywhere and I LOVE it. I actually did some research on it and found out that it's a 1972 SUBURBAN and its worth about $5. It's probably had a paint job at one point and the breaks need a little tune up. Otherwise, it's in fantastic condition.
I obscenely overpaid and it bothers me a little that it shares the name with an SUV I hate and part of the city I avoid like the plague, but I still LOVE it. I laugh to myself when the SUV Suburbans pass me on the street and I think about how much gas I have not had to buy since I bought the bike.
