Details

You could be the proud owner of this vintage (1946-7?) Schwinn balloon tire bicycle. This bike has been repainted but looks to be solid and ridable. The crank and wheel seem to be original, so a great start for a restoration piece or a sweet Rat Rod!

BIKE CONDITION:

This bike is in ride-able condition. The frame has been repainted. The seat tube has been pried a bit. Any original chrome is a little rusty. The tires, bars, stem and pedals are not original. The fenders and chain guard are missing.

This bike has been fully tuned by a seasoned shop mechanic with many years of experience. Then the bike was test ridden and given a thorough eighty three point inspection by the owner. Finally the owner rides the bicycle checking steering, braking and shifting. After you receive this bicycle minimal adjustments and assembly will be needed to be ready to ride.

This bike is being sold as is, please see photographs for details.
