Mr. Lincoln

Initially there was a little hesitation due to its grease turning to ear wax, but a little Mobil-1 down the oil hole and all is well again…
The Lincoln is a recent arrival, one of the few Schwinns in the long-term collection. It was previously owned by a collector who redid most of the brightwork so it’s about as shiny as they come.
