Don’t feel bad guys. I got a total of 4 votes on my images. I guess I should just throw in the towel and never shoot bird image again? NOT! 😆

Ah, the Volare, I know the model. I’m a regular over in the Classic & Vintage section of BikeForums.net (cuda2k, admin), as well as the owner/developer of VeloBase.com. I’ve had a couple of vintage Schwinns in the last few years, but none quite that old.

// first contest that’s on the outside of the vote avg curve I’ve seen since I started participating!

I know who you are. I am on there too as beakgeek. You helped me out with an id on another bike.

Wait. You can leave the house without so much as a cheap point n shoot? How do you do that?.

I know, I know, I should have known better. 😉

beakgeek, lots of fantastic shots on your website, guess I should swing back through the Fark.com thread and see how many new entries I need to vote for now. 🙂 Can’t quite make out the Schwinn head badge in your avatar. Looks to be one of the standard Schwinn Chicago badges, Radiant Coppertone paint?

It is the headbadge for a – hand made schwinn from Japan’s Panasonic factory. It is a 1977 Schwinn Volare that was the bike that was one step down from a Paramount. It came with all first gen Dura Ace components. The color is “pearlescent orange”. They made that model in 1977 & 78.

Actually, you need to post on Fark.com in the Farktography thread here: http://www.fark.com/comments/7185620 . Do you have a Fark.com account?

Thank you I figured it out. I posted 3 images.

Hopefully I posted this in the correct place. Let me know if I did not.
