1972 SCHWINN STINGRAY MUSCLE BIKE KRATE HOT/RAT ROD BANANA SEAT FASTBACK SLIK 72

Here is an original December 1972 VINTAGE (serial number is MH) mens Schwinn Stingray banana seat muscle bike with 20" wheels. This is an insanely COOL custom original Schwinn Stingray made in Chicago USA with some ONE OF A KIND touches! I love it and hope you do too. 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 shorty/jr frame and forks with super cool hand custom red white and blue paint with flames! (fun for America 250, Summer Parades, July 4th etc) original chainguard, single speed coaster sprocket, slightly newer Stingray banana seat, (has rips) newer chrome sissy bar and neck/stem, tall apehanger handlebars, Schwinn comfort hand grips, reflector pedals, and more! This frame is COOL and you almost never see them!

*The tires are vintage SCHWINN tires and do hold air. (Check out the cool Gripper Slik rear tire) The wheels are 20x1 3/4" chrome Schwinn S7wheels front and rear with a Bendix 70 rear hub.

*The bike is an original single speed with coaster style brakes. (pedal backwards slightly to stop)

*NOTED FLAWS I got this bike exactly like you see it! This is a ONE OF A KIND bike and is literally the only one like it on the planet! Bike was obviously repainted but looks cool. 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 fenders. IF you are a "nut and bolt purist' this is not the bike for you. If you would enjoy a super cool Schwinn like none other.... you may really enjoy this one! I took many pics and have nothing to hide! 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 offer.

*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 so offer 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 offer. Keep in mind you are offerding 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 offerding 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 sale 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 offer 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 offer as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx $279.95. 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 offer 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!
