1950 SCHWINN HORNET MENS STRAIGHT-BAR TANK BICYCLE VINTAGE PANTHER B6 DX S2 RED!DescriptionNow this is AWESOME!Here is an original VINTAGE (I believe 1950. The serial number is G50479) men's SCHWINN HORNET STRAIGHTBAR beach cruiser bicycle with 26" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing RED and white 2-tone colored factory paint. This is an AWESOME color combination on this bike and you rarely see it on these! To me, this bike is absolutely AMAZING and they almost never come along like this! 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 mens straight bar Hornet/Panther cruiser style frame with original paint and decals, large Schwinn Spitfire head badge, cool truss rod forks, frame mounted straight bar TANK with horn inside, (Horn is tested and WORKS) original screen whizzer "feather" style Hornet deluxe chainguard, cool cruiser dx style seat, (shows age) lucky 7 seat post, wide cruiser handlebars, Schwinn script hand grips, full fenders, fender mounted Delta headlight, (YES, it works as you can see. I believe was added to the bike) Skiptooth chain, deluxe "Sweetheart" sprocket, cool "AS" (Arnold Schwinn) pedals, 9 hole rear carrier RACK, and more!*This is a nice looking bike that you can be proud to own, display, or ride! I hope you enjoy
and appreciate this one! Stuff like this does not come along often! I'm not sure why I decided to sell this one! I hope it gets a great new home!*The tires are 26x2.125". They are vintage slightly newer replacement tires and do hold air. The bike has factory painted and pinstriped Schwinn S-2 rims front and rear with a New Departure rear hub. (rims would look better restriped)*The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike)*DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 31". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28 1/2". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 1/2". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is relatively ok considering its age. I got this one exactly like you see it and love it! The paint looks ok for a 60+ year old bike! Has obvious chips scratches etc but is respectable for its age! I LOVE original paint on bikes! The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (Most every used bike out there seems to) Overall, this is one of the coolest bikes you could ask for! A rare bike in a rare color... I truly hope you can appreciate this one for what it is. This is a much harder bike to find than a Black Phantom or a Krate bike. I took lots of pics, I have nothing to hide. If you 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 ...
