Of special note on this one is the Reynolds ALUMINUM frame. You remember...? They also made food wrap:"Oven tempered for flexible strength!" was the advertising slogan. I worked in a Reno Schwinn shop in the early 70's and the owner was fond of telling prospective buyers that bit o' misinformation, until the day Della Santa was there and came up from behind with a magnet, hung it off the toptube and remarked: Hey! Must be special MAGNETIC aluminum!

Yours in nostalgia.
