Sweet rat bike or project. Solid and straight steel straight bar frame. Non original black that shows wear/age/scuffs but still a great frame, nice and big.
Good springer Fork setup with some chrome pit. Nice chrome bars/stem with good Schwinn grips that show stains. Included is a vintage car mirror mounted on the Fork.
Nice Messinger Beehive springer Saddle that's comfy and in good condition for the age with some wear. Included is a rear metal rack though it appears non original. Also included is the double torpedo under seat tail lights, one caps missing, mount is not permanent. Nice big heart design Skiptooth crankset with vintage pedals. Good chrome with some surface oxidation.
Cool original Schwinn torpedo tail light. The chainguard is obviously not original but fits. Good big fat tire fenders that appear Schwinn, though mismatch color, but nice and straight. Front needs to be mounted, shows wear with some dings but still solid.
Original Schwinn Tubular chrome front rim with Schwinn hub. Has been painter silver at one point in its life. Spins real nice and smooth/long lasting. Includes a nice vintage Goodyear Speedway 26 tire with minor weather checking. Rear chrome rim appears also to have been painted at some point. Doesn't appear original and is missing a couple spokes so it has a slight wobble, though usable as is. Includes New Departure Skiptooth hub and good vintage Goodyear Speedway tire. Only needs a Skiptooth chain to start cruising. Every gun works in regard to easy pedaling, steering and braking. Overall a great looking and riding vintage straight bar Schwinn. Ride as is rat style or great bike to restore. Is missing the tank, but once a tank is installed, the value increases significantly. So don't miss out.Pictures tell all, if not, please ask.
