This vintage muscle bike is equipped with original Schwinn spring suspension front fork with correct \"S\" bolts. The bike has Schwinn MAG sprocket and Union made bow pedals. The working Schwinn 5 speed stik shift is the 1969 style which is correct and typical for a December bike to have the next year features.
