Just saw your 2007 comment "passed you coming into Jbo on metric route". That's probably a KBC route unknown to me. I'm usually in the Boone's Creek/Old Boone's Creek Road area, in fact that 8 mile loop circles my house. Usually wearing TCRC kit these days.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a similar 1971 Schwinn Continental
Road bike. I was just wondering if you could tell me how it handles, pros/cons/etc. Thank you for your time.

 The recovery is going well. I hope to be without crutches after my doc appointment next week. It will probably be a couple more months before I am on the road again. I pedaled easy on a trainer last night for 10 min. Sore legs today.
