I found the bike I always wanted as a kid - beat up, with a wrecked paint job, rusty, and 28 years old. (S/N GL501100, MFD July, 1975 in Chicago.) I want to restore it as close as possible to the way I would've decked it out when I was thirteen. Here's the progress.

75 Schwinn Continental: The Helmet Arrived Today...
...finally. I took the Airmail out for a good hour-long ride this evening. It breathes well, doesn't interfere with my sunglasses or bluetooth, and is quite comfortable. So far, no "helmet hair," either.
