Spent the entire summer of 1975 saving up to buy one of these back in 5th to 6th grade. Sold it regrettably to finance skateboard gear around 1979. Saw one up on eBay this week and it's now on the way here to sit in my shed instead of theirs hahaha..
Most of you have no idea of the folklore surrounding these and how cool it was for an 11 year old kid to own back in the mid 70s. Feel free to chime it if you do though. Really stoked to have found one in such good shape, although the parts are not all same year, some 1975 and some 1976 parts were used on the restoration at some point. Mine had yellow forks and a post seat, pure 1974. This one appears to have a 74-75 frame and 76 forks.

Wow, I've never seen that but am quite familiar with the regular Schwinn banana bike. I had a Raleigh version which wasn't nearly as cool as the Schwinn with the 5 speed knob shifter. I associate them with muscle mustangs. A neighbor down the street had like a 68 Mustang GT cream with black stripes.Spent the entire summer of 1975 saving up to buy one of these back in 5th to 6th grade.

It's essentially a Yamaha YZ or Trials 80 with pedals instead of a motor..
not bad - where did you get those?
Online: skibuy.at That's the website where the Austrian shop Nenner Sports sells off its ex-demo and rental skis.
