Bikes

I'm in the market for a bike.  I want a really cool one, and considering the time frame for my stupid ankle, I'll be biking before I'll be jogging.  Lame.  Anyways, I've been searching on craigslist for bikes 'cause you can find some sweet crap on their for a minimal price.  I thought I should get a touring bike so I can throw some saddle bags on it and go for a long ride and the seats are comfy for distance and the tires aren't crazy wide like a mountain bike.  But, I saw some insane vintage Schwinns that I would pimp around the Seattle area like crazy.  Example:

Is that not sweet???  And it needs some restorative work done considering it's been sitting in some dudes garage for the past two decades.   I'd love a little bike project.  I've never done any kind of work to a bike before, but dude.  It's a friggen bike.  I can learn, I'm handy with my hands, there hasn't been a project on my car or tother such that I haven't been able to tackle.  I need this bike.
