Bought this bike about three years ago and it was out on loan more than it was at home until a year ago. My kids named it Kermit because of the color. It now lives on my trainer. It was the cheapest road bike Schwinn made that year. About 38 pounds of Electro-Forged steel.

Kermit, that's funny.

See my green Centurion posted in this same category. I kept it in my living room for awhile and my kids called it Kermit too. The only time I had a car painted I had it painted Triumph Emerald Green and
I knew if I powdercoated a bike it was going to be bright green as well.

Regards, Tim
