If you like unique 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 original design ladies frame and forks with original paint and decals, original screen chainguard, (has a dent) sweet looking SCHWINN "S" cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, Schwinn hand grips, full fenders, and more!
These bikes are solid, well built bikes, made in Chicago! They are built to stand the test of time! I believe this bike to be mostly all original parts from when it was new. (see pics and be your own judge). This bike came from a wonderful little known place in Wisconsin called Washington Island.
It has spent many years having a cushy enjoyable existence.... I hope you enjoy this one for many years to come! The tires are 26x 1 3/8. They are vintage newer replacement tires and do hold air.
The bike has chrome Schwinn S5 rims front and rear with a Bendix 70 rear hub. The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS: The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 27. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 17 1/2.
The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 21. The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust. NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is not bad for its age! The paint looks very respectable for a 50+ year old bike!(may have some chips scratches, etc but has survived better than many that you see) Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. 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. I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can.
