Details

You could be the proud owner of this vintage Schwinn Caliente bicycle. Hand built in Chicago, USA in June of 1979 this bike features a Shimano Front Freewheel system and smaller frame size for shorter riders. Perfect for the retro rider or collector, this bicycle is looking for a new home and it could be yours.

BIKE CONDITION

The bike is in good overall condition and free of bends, cracks and corrosion. The Frosty Blue paint still has a good luster to it with some small marks and scratches to be found throughout the bike. The bike appears to be all original with the exceptions of the newer Kenda tires and possibly the saddle.

This bicycle appears to be ridable, but we would recommend a tune up or safety check over by a qualified mechanic before riding.

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