So Simple & Fresh...What more to say? Kate is wearing a look so reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. Take note of this classic, beautiful Vintage Schwinn bicycle she is riding. She looks so casual yet playfully elegant
Anon...I bumbled back here and found your comment last night. Becoming OCD driven I researched and researched. Oh my gosh, you're right!
I purchased this bike off SFCraigslist. In the ad it was advertised & listed as circa 1968. I totally trusted the previous owner's word...he worked his entire life in bike shops and had a major collection of various bikes going back 30 plus years. He himself bought the bike from American Cyclery in SF in the early 90's, at least that's what he said anyway.
So What is the telltale identifier? It's the Raleigh lettering. Slanted (like what's on my bicycle) means it's from the 1970's and later and upright lettering means it's from the 1960's or earlier. So there you have it.
For about 2 hours I was really upset and thought about recontacting the person I bought it from. I decided against it. I like my bicycle, so that's that.
Thom... I guess if you want you can change the title of this post to reflect the correct age of this bicycle.
