1953 Schwinn Hornet Mens B6 Springer Fork Cruiser Bicycle Phantom Wasp Vintage

  
1953 SCHWINN HORNET MENS B6 SPRINGER FORK CRUISER BICYCLE PHANTOM WASP VINTAGE! Here is an original VINTAGE I believe made Jan 29th 1953. The serial number is H43370 men's SCHWINN beach cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. This has the super cool B6 (Phantom, Wasp, or Meteor) cantalever style frame. If you love original vintage Chicago made Schwinn bikes, you may enjoy this one! 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, cool front Springer fork with "AS" (Arnold Schwinn) bolts, deluxe (Phantom Panther style) chainguard, large brass Schwinn head badge, cruiser style seat, "AS" seat post clamp, wide cruiser handlebars, Schwinn script hand grips, full fenders with cool "flat" fender braces, (fenders have obviously been replaced) accessory rear carrier RACK, Schwinn pedals, Skiptooth chain and sprockets, and more!

This bike would be very valuable in parts! (would be a shame to use for parts though) The tires are 26x2.125. They are vintage tires and do hold air. The front is a Sears Allstate. The rear is a Gillette.

The bike has chrome Schwinn S-2 rims front and rear with a New Departure rear hub. 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 1/2. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28 1/4. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 3/4. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22.

The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust. NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is not bad for its age! I got this one just like you see it. The bike is partially repainted.

The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to) The fenders and the spring on the fork have been replaced. (see pics, no big deal but I like to be honest) If you are looking for a perfect "nut and bolt original" this is not the bike for you. If you would enjoy a cool real deal original Schwinn at a great price, you may enjoy this one!

I took lots and have nothing to hide. 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.
