Michael's Schwinn Bike he made me

My brother Michael worked at Yesteryear Cyclery, Inc. in New Bedford.  He helped Kim Camara build and repair bicycles. Well for my 10th birthday in 1976, Michael gave me this one of a kind bike.  It is a special frame and he made up the name himself. (sorry forgot the name)  I loved the Irish kelly green color and loved my banana seat with stick shift on the frame.  I loved that bike.  It sat in my mother's basement up until a year ago when she passed away.  Michael took the bike back to Kim/Yesteryear and they ended up hanging it from the ceiling in the store as a type of museum. I am happy to say my bike is on display!  Lots of memories on that bike.  Love you Michael!
