Daniel I disagree, I think Cub Cadet yellow looks great on a Schwinn. Here is a 1977 Schwinn Caliente, I bought new in 77. It was one of the first big things I bought myself as a kid. I saved and saved it was close to $200.00 back then. I bought it to ride to the Jersey shore, 96 mile trip myself and 2 other friends took that summer. After college it was looking a bit worn so I decided to paint it. I disassembled it and stripped the old paint. It sat that way for 30 years in my barn. Last summer I decided to finish it. Looked on the shelf and I had plenty of Cub Cadet yellow and white so that's what I used. I think it came out great. For some reason the only thing I was missing was the rear wheel. It has the free wheeling hub. All I could find was a 24" wheel so I cut the hub out and re laced a larger wheel. I was going to put Cub Cadet decals on it but decided to go with original Schwinn.
