This is a great start for a restoration, a daily rider or rat bike. The paint is original and in heavily worn condition but all parts are straight. The bike was dissembled just enough to verify date correct components.
The correct date parts are on the bike with exception of the pedals. I have the original pedals but they are worthy of the bike. This bike is not perfect and has many blemishes as seen in the photos.Most of the chrome is still very bright. The front fender has a small dent and the rear fender has a large dent that has been poorly repaired. The front seat pan has been refurbished and the rear seat pan has some dents. The seat coverings are original with great patina. The handle grips are showing discoloration.
The rear reflector does not appear to be original. The tires are a Schwinn Knobby rear and Westwind front. The tires do have some weathercracking and the front is heavily worn. If you have questions, please ask in advance. I can provide additional photos upon request.
I reserve the right to end this listing early as this bike is also for sale locally in the Lansing, MI area. CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS.
