349 miles in six days, and still going strong.

“I rode the Free Spirit 10-Speed 349 back-road miles for Sears. From Boston to Philadelphia in six days, and it’s still going strong.”
“I must have shifted a thousand times. . . . The synchromesh derailleur made shifting a snap.”
“The stem mounted shift levers and dual position handbrakes were a real plus in touring. And the center pull brake system was consistently reliable. The Free Spirit Bicycle . . . truly a performance machine.” —Spencer Gentry
