1968 SCHWINN FASTBACK STINGRAY MUSCLE BIKE KRATE VINTAGE! Here is a rare original December 1968 SCHWINN STINGRAY "FASTBACK" 20 BICYCLE! (MD 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 is one of the coolest bikes made by Schwinn! They look cool and are great riding bikes! The bike was in the original campus green factory painted color. (Popular on the regular Stingray Pea Picker Krate bikes) The bike has cool wide apehanger handlebars, matching Schwinn hand grips, chrome fenders front and rear, cool rear sissy bar, Schwinn reflector bow pedals, and so much more! I dont know where you would find another like it!
The bike is an original FIVE SPEED stick shift but is now a single speed with coaster brakes. (you could convert it back to a 3-speed or 5-speed stick shift if you wanted to) Has the cool krate coaster "mag" sprocket in place. The seat is cool slightly newer metal flake green banana seat. (non Schwinn has splits) This one has Schwinn S6 rims front and rear with a Bendix rear hub. This one has some AWESOME 20x1 3/8' "Schwinn STINGRAY FASTBACK" tires front and rear and do hold air.(I was told these are NOS and have not been on the bike very long, see pics and be your own judge). This bike would be great to ride, display, or restore! Boys bikes are a good investment and will only go UP in value!
RIGHT NOW I have both a Schwinn Fastback boys (originally a 5-speed) and a girls Schwinn Stardust both in Campus Green for sale on 2 separate listings right now! 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. A great bike to display, ride and enjoy, or restore.
Would also be a great source of parts for your Schwinn Fastback boys bicycle! (would be a shame to see this used for parts but the choice is yours) You do not see these often! A great way to round out your collection or to start one!NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is ok for a 45+ year old boys bike! Has chips scratches etc but ORIGINAL PAINT is always best! T he 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 grip end is open and the bike does not have a chainguard. These bikes rarely come along!
If you want a perfect "nut and bolt original" this probably is not the bike for you. If you would enjoy a cool real deal Chicago made Schwinn at a great price, you may love this one! I took lots of pics and have nothing to hide.
Please look closely for exact condition. This is a cool bike in the RIGHT color! The Fastback bikes ride much nicer than the kool KRATE bikes! (they look awesome but these ride much better) I hope you enjoy this! These do not come along often!
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 "1968 SCHWINN FASTBACK STINGRAY MUSCLE BIKE KRATE VINTAGE! GREEN BANANA SEAT S6" is in sale since Thursday, September 22, 2016.
