Description
Here is an original March 1956 VINTAGE  (The serial number is V58089 and the rear hub is dated 56) ladies SCHWINN RACER road cruiser bicycle with 26" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing Opalescent BLUE colored factory paint. If you like UNIQUE unrestored original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!
*This bike has a cool original design ladies frame and forks with original paint and decals, (I like the "Magic Hat" seat tube decal) original chainguard, (would look nice with a fresh decal) Schwinn cruiser style seat, wide cruiser handlebars, (have chrome pits) Schwinn SCRIPT hand grips, Schwinn pedals, full factory color matched fenders, and more! These bikes are solid, well built bikes, made in Chicago! They are built to stand the test of time and are great riders! This one even has the accommodations if you ever want to add front and rear hand brakes!
*The tires are 26x 1 3/8". They are vintage tires and they do hold air. (the front is a Schwinn. Rear is a slightly newer replacement) The bike has chrome Schwinn S6 wheels front and rear with a 56 dated Sturmey Archer rear hub.
The bike is an original
THREE
SPEED and the gears do operate. The hand controlled brakes are operable as well. (Has been in very long term storage and will need adjustment or possible cable replacement)
*DIMENSIONS: The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 29". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 19". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 21". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS I got this one just like you see it. I LOVE the fact that the bike still wears its original paint! (has chips, scratches, etc)  The chrome is shiny but is not perfect show quality.  Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to) Bike does not have a head badge. THIS IS A COOL BASIS FOR SOMETHING GREAT! If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail.
Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you bid.
*This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price
*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park!   Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!  Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!
*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE so bid early and don't miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.
*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you bid. Keep in mind you are bidding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.
*By bidding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the auction listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you bid regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.
*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.
*SHIPPING COSTS: Fed Ex, USPS, as well as UPS have recently raised their shipping rates due to the higher cost of fuel. Sorry for the slight increase in shipping costs.
*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you bid as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx 9.95. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. This i the best deal I can get to ship to these locations.
Please do not bid if this is unacceptable.
I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can. If you have a friend or family member in the lower 48 states, I can ship to them for the amount stated in the listing. THANK YOU!
*I have lots of other rare bicycles, bike parts and bike accessories, as well as vintage car parts and unique items on auction this week! Check them out! Combine items to save yourself $$$ on shipping! Email with any questions you may have.
