1961 SCHWINN STREAMLINER MENS TANK BIKE VINTAGE PANTHER HORNET S7 HEADLIGHT+HORN

  

1961 SCHWINN STREAMLINER MENS TANK BIKE VINTAGE PANTHER HORNET S7 HEADLIGHT+HORN. Here is an original VINTAGE I believe made April 11th 1961.

The serial number is D125212 men's Schwinn STREAMLINER beach cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. It is in the original and very appealing BLACK and white 2-tone colored factory paint. If you like HARD TO FIND original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. 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 with original paint and decals, frame mounted "peanut" tank with horn inside, (untested) truss rod forks, original screen chainguard, Messinger cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, full fenders, fender mounted DELTA HAWK headlight, (has lens, untested) newer pedals, and more! This bike was recently removed from VERY long term storage in a dry Wisconsin home basement. This one has not seen the light of day in DECADES and has not been owned by collectors!

Be the first to get this one in the light and enjoy it! You sometimes see the Panther 2, American, Jaguar, etc models but the Streamliner bikes from this series are next to impossible to find!

I like it and hope you do too! The tires are 26x1 3/4. They are vintage WIDE WHITEWALL tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome Schwinn S-7 rims front and rear. The bike is an original Bendux 2-SPEED KICKBACK with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike or to change gears) The 2-speed seems to only be working as a single speed right now. DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30. The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 27 1/2. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 1/4.

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 ok for its age! The paint looks ok for a 55+ year old bike! Has chips scratches shows age etc.

You gotta LOVE original paint bikes! 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 rims have side dents. This is a cool bike that cant wait to be enjoyed once again! 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.
