Vintage 1960s Schwinn Fleet Cruiser Bike Tank Rack Bendix 2 Speed Red Survivor

  
AUTHENTIC LATE-1960S SCHWINN FLEET 2-SPEED CRUISER?? Up for sale is a beautifully preserved, 100% original survivor Schwinn Fleet, built at the legendary Chicago factory. This bicycle features its original Flamboyant Red factory paint, decals, and pinstriping. It has never been restored or repainted, making it a prime piece for serious collectors.

Rare Rear Hub: Bendix "Yellow Band" 2-Speed Automatic Overdrive Hub. Original Lighting: Top-loader fender headlight (confirmed working prior to long-term storage; needs fresh batteries). Built-in Horn: Original tank horn intact (untested, needs fresh batteries). Premium Original Seat: Deluxe red/white script "S" seat complete with chrome crash rail. Complete Trim: Original 4-bar rear rack and pinstriped rims.

Frame Size: 18 in (Classic Schwinn adult middleweight layout). Wheel / Rim Size: 26 in. DETAILED CONDITION & REPAIR NOTES. Rear Hub Project: The bicycle spent years in long-term storage.

As a result, the factory grease inside the rare Bendix Yellow Band hub has completely hardened, causing the hub to currently free-spin forward. This is a very common, straightforward flush-and-regrease project for a vintage bike collector. Coaster brakes function properly once the wheel hub is serviced. Paint & Body: Cosmetics are phenomenal with zero external structural dings on the frame or fenders. The texture visible on the lower front fender tip is normal interior road wear from historic riding debris, not external damage or alteration.
