1960 Schwinn Tornado Straightbar Mens 24 Bicycle Red Vintage Typhoon S7 American

  
1960 SCHWINN TORNADO STRAIGHTBAR MENS 24 BICYCLE RED VINTAGE TYPHOON S7 AMERICAN. Here is an original June 1960 VINTAGE (The serial number is F05690) men's Schwinn Tornado double STRAIGHT BAR beach cruiser bicycle with 24 wheels. It is in cool original red Schwinn paint! 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 STRAIGHTBAR cruiser style frame and forks with original paint and decals, (Love the original factory pinstriping) Schwinn head badge, original screen Schwinn chainguard, Schwinn cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, newer hand grips, full fenders, (people love factory color matched fenders) and more! I got this one just like you see it. This double straightbar frame is so cool! They only made it for a couple years and people REALLY like them! They did the Typhoon, Tornado, Skipper, Flying Star, Skipper, and American.

You do not see them for sale very often! I hope you enjoy it! The tires are 24x1 3/4. They are vintage Schwinn tires and do hold air.

The bike has factory painted and pinstriped Schwinn S-7 rims front and rear with a Bendix rear hub. (rim surface shows age but has survived better than many that you see) The bike is an original single speed with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards slightly to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS A hard to find size bike for a shorter rider or a younger person that would enjoy a cool vintage bicycle!

The stand over height is approx 27 1/2. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 25. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 16.

The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 20. 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 paint is original but has chips scratches etc. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them.

(every used bike out there seems to) The front fender and fork are Schwinn but look replaced. The rear fender is Schwinn but looks 26? (better than nothing) A girls bike or parts could be a great donor! Chrome fenders would be acceptable and look cool on here!

These bikes are cool and don't come along often! 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.
