An old, probably '62 but I'm not sure, Schwinn King Size American came home
with me last night. He's a bit rough, but I think he'll roll just fine with
some new tires and a little elbow grease. (Note: I normally refer to bikes
as "she", but with "King Size" on the chain guard this one's a "he".)

Semi-on-topic content. Tooken with an Optio 750z.
Just looking at the close-up of the wheels. Look at the size of those
spokes! They look like freaking telephone poles!
From what I've read, the "heavy duty" models had bigger spokes and,
maybe, fatter tires. They are monstrous. As are the nipples. I've
never seen any that big before.
I bet the whole thing weighs about 35 pounds?
At least. Wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to 50.
Very cool bicycle!
I'm excited. Ordered tires today. Whee!
