1966 Schwinn Fastback Stingray 5-speed Stik Coppertone Muscle Bike Krate Vintage

  
1966 SCHWINN FASTBACK STINGRAY 5-SPEED STIK COPPERTONE MUSCLE BIKE KRATE VINTAGE. Here is a rare original MARCH 1966 SCHWINN STINGRAY 20 BICYCLE! (CB94508 Serial Number) This bike is from the era when most everything was cool! The HEMICUDA, Mach 1 Mustang, and Camaro Z-28 come to mind! This bike is in very original condition. In fact, as far as I can tell, the majority of the parts of this bike appear to be original. This bike has been in VERY long term storage! One of the local bike guys spotted this one hanging up in a small town here in Wisconsin years ago. The bike is in the original and very appealing RADIANT COPPERTONE GOLD factory painted color. The bike has cool wide apehanger handlebars, matching Schwinn hand grips, 5-speed STICK SHIFTER, original Fastback gold 5-speed chainguard, (has a fresh decal) SPRINT SPROCKET, cool tall rear sissy bar, Schwinn BOW pedals, and so much more! I dont know where you would find another like it! The bike is an original 5-speed STICK SHIFT with operable hand controlled brakes. The bike shifts and brakes. (will need fine tune adjustment) This one has its Stingray seat in place! (has rips) It has the cool Stingray tag on the rear! This one has an "AS" (Arnold Schwinn) seat post bolt. This one has Schwinn S5 rims front and rear. This one has 20x1 3/8 tires front and rear. They look to be slightly newer replacements. (replace for riding or ok for display) I BELIEVE this bike to be mostly original parts from when it was new!

(see pics and be your own judge) This is a great bike and a great find! This bike was recently removed from VERY long term storage. I LOVE LOVE LOVE finding these bikes that have been stored away for a long time and not owned by collectors! In the late 1990s, I started collecting muscle bikes again!

My very first local bike I found was a Coppertone Sprint 5-speed stick shift Fastback like this one! This one brought back some great memories! If you enjoy RIDING your bikes, the Fastback bikes are arguably the best for riding! (much smoother than the cool looking krate series of bikes) Now is your chance to own one of the COOLEST bikes EVER MADE! Make someone in your life happy with this one.

This is a cool bike that you can enjoy for years! You RARELY find these bikes anymore! They were all abused and thrown away back in the 1970s-80s. Finding one these days is a big challenge.

They are very cool and people enjoy owning, riding, and displaying them! Most people do not sell these bikes once they have them. Be the first to get this bike back out in the light and have fun with it!

I believe this to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is relatively ok for a 45+ year old boys bike! The paint looks relatively ok for its age! (it has chips and scratches, decal wear, etc, see pics) I LOVE original paint!

NOTE, the front top bar looks to have a little extra weld in place. It does not appear to have been broken. (see pics and be your own judge) I have seen this done before. 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 rear fender has dents. The front fender was replaced. NOT trying to nit pick every little thing, just like to be honest. You will never see these Stick Shifter bikes produced again and finding one that has been in long term storage is a rare find these days!

Sorry for the LONG description, these bikes really excite me. People will ENVY you when you ride by at a car show or on the street with this bike! I try to list anything I notice with the bike. Keep in mind this is a vintage bike that has probably not been ridden for a while so it may need minor tuning, bearings greased, polishing, etc, These bikes are getting harder to find and are more popular than ever before! You will enjoy owning, riding, and displaying it for years!

People always remember these bikes but seldom see them in person. I take them in to have them packaged so they almost always arrive in the same condition as they 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. They are all available right now! I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible. The item "1966 SCHWINN FASTBACK STINGRAY 5-SPEED STIK COPPERTONE MUSCLE BIKE KRATE VINTAGE" is in sale since Thursday, April 06, 2017.
