1930s MEAD CRUSADER SCHWINN B10E PREWAR BALLOON TIRE BICYCLE VINTAGE ANTIQUE 33

  
1930s MEAD CRUSADER SCHWINN B10E PREWAR BALLOON TIRE BICYCLE VINTAGE ANTIQUE 33. I believe the Schwinn B10E was the VERY FIRST balloon tire bicycle EVER produced!

These are next to impossible to find in ANY condition! With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike! This bike has a cool mens cruiser style frame and forks, cool "Mead Crusader" headbadge, wide cruiser handlebars, dropstand rear kickstand (no fender mounted hanger) full B10E "raingutter" fenders with cool "flat" fender braces, dented etc but super rare. I believe the rear is a ladies Skiptooth chain with dogleg sprocket, vintage seat/saddle, and more! The tires are 26x2.125.

They are old vintage tires and do hold air. The bike has raised center rims front and rear with a New Departure rear hub. (I believe these are referred to as "triple step" rims) The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes.

(pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 29 1/2. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 19. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/4. The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust. NOTED FLAWS I got this one just like you see it! The bike would need a total resto from top to bottom for show or enjoy it in its current patina. The bike was obviously repainted.

The chrome would need resto for show. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them.

(most every used bike out there seems to). This bike is RARE and is cool being from that Aerocycle, Autocycle, Motorbike, era. If you check out the closed listings, these EARLY Schwinn balloon tire bikes simply dont seem to exist.

This could be a great way to complete your collection. I seem to find one of these every 5 years or so. I hope you can appreciate this one for what it is!

This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price Why not ride a bike? If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park!

Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes!

They are more popular now than ever before! This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.

PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while. (not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike.

I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us. Fed Ex just increased the rates. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can.
