The bike is in the original and very appealing KOOL RED factory painted color. (Popular on the regular Stingray+Apple Krate bikes but you rarely see a Fastback in this color) The bike has cool wide apehanger handlebars, matching Schwinn hand grips, chrome fenders front and rear, cool 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. Has the cool krate "mag" sprocket in place. The bike shifts and brakes. (will need fine tune adjustment) The seat is original but shows obvious age.This one has Schwinn S6 rims front and rear. This one Schwinn tires front and rear. (probably original for the bike) They hold air! The rear is a Fastback SLICK tire. The front is a Schwinn 20x1 3/8'!
This one has the correct chainguard. It has a poor paint job and a new decal.
At least it is present! I believe this bike to be basically all original parts from when it was new. (See pics and be your own expert).
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 ok for a 45+ year old boys bike! The paint is ok for a 40+ year old bike.
(has chips scratches etc) 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 shifter would look nice with a new side decal!
This is a cool bike! Use it for its hard to find parts or restore it. 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.
