Got me a new FREE Schwinn Sprint !

Been looking for a bike to throw in the trainer and save the wear and tear on my bike and my buddy hooked me up with this. Try it and see how it goes ! If steel is real this is as real as it gets, this thing is incredibly heavy , good thing it's just going in the trainer.

Not a clue ! I would bet on early 80ish though. Gota take it for a spin around the block before I sentence it to trainer duty !
