I was in the Henry Ford Museum the other day and noticed they have a new exhibit focused on bicycles.

They have a Krate bike, a Lemon Peeler, on display.

What tickled me was the choice they made for the companion bike in the display: a Schwinn Continental 10 speed, in Root Beer Barrel brown metallic.

That is the exact bike (even the same color) I bought to replace my Krate bike when I sold it, in high school.

Lemon Peeler value = approx $10,000.

Schwinn Continental value = approx $10

In the early 80's I saved up my summer lawn mowing money to buy a new black and gold Continental at Downers Grove Schwinn. I remember Dad driving me up there and counting out the cash on the counter for the $209.99 + tax price. I still have the bike - my son rode it for a while in his early teen years. Hanging in the basement now.......
