1961 Schwinn Flying Star Vintage Tank Bicycle Rat Rod Typhoon Deluxe Tornado S7

  

1961 SCHWINN FLYING STAR VINTAGE TANK BICYCLE RAT ROD TYPHOON DELUXE TORNADO S7! Here is an original 1961 VINTAGE I believe June 21st 1961. The serial number is F136970 mens SCHWINN FLYING STAR beach cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. This has the cool double straight bar frame which people love!

You rarely see these 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 some super cool features you do not see often on vintage Schwinn bikes! This bike has a cool mens double straight bar cruiser style frame and forks, frame mounted TANK, this is that rare version that never had a horn.

Some people really like these! Original screen chainguard, old cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, newer hand grips, full fenders, 9 hole rear carrier RACK, and more!

I believe this bike to be mostly original parts from when it was new! (see pics and be your own judge) This series of bike is really cool and you rarely see them! This bike would be fun to restore or would make a great unrestored "rat rod" type rider. The tires are 26x1 3/4. They are vintage SCHWINN WESTWIND tires and do hold air. The bike has factory white painted and pinstriped Schwinn S-7 rims front and rear with a Schwinn Approved rear hub.

(rear rim is painted) 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. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 1/2.

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 I got this one just like you see it. It has been in very long term storage and would need a complete restoration from top to bottom for show.

Or enjoy it in its current unrestored patina! Consider it a "fixer upper" Bike has obviously been repainted.

Chrome shows age and wear. Seat post is stuck and has marks. Rear wheel is missing a spoke. NOT trying to nit pick this cool bike, just like to be honest. With some TLC, you will have a super cool, hard to find bike, at a great price. The tank and rack pretty much are worth the price of the bike and the rest is a bonus! 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.
