Description
NOW THIS IS AMAZING!
Here is an original VINTAGE (serial number is 886 068 1157) men's WESTERN FLYER "Special Edition" bicycle with 26" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing RED AND BLACK 2-tone colored factory paint. If you like clean original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. It was always stored inside in a clean dry area. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!
*This bike is AWESOME! Back in the 1950s, you could go to your local Western Auto Supply Store and not only buy automotive parts, you could buy your child or yourself a BRAND NEW BICYCLE! How cool is that?! Those bikes were so popular and so cool, that they actually made a reproduction of these awesome bicycles! (I was told this bike was made in the late 1980s) This was the era of the "good" reproduction bikes. If you are not a "bike guy" or "bike gal" with a very keen eye, you would not know this bike is anything other than a MINT condition original! I think they did an AWESOME job on this bike!
*This bike has a cool mens cruiser style frame with original paint and decals, front SPRINGER fork, (only on the deluxe model) original frame mounted TANK with horn inside, (untested) original screen chainguard, cool cruiser style seat, (has a small split at the front) wide cruiser handlebars, full fenders, front fender mounted HEADLIGHT, (untested) rear carrier RACK with side jewels, and more!
*I believe this bike to be 100% original parts from when it was new and in NICE condition! (see pics and be your own judge) I got this from a local collector who bought this one new. (hard to believe this bike was made over 25+ years ago and has survived so well!) He had it on display with a 1956 Chevy, some gas pumps, street lights, etc. He said it was never really ridden!
*Now you could go out and buy a rusted out original bike from the 1950s (if you are lucky enough to find one) for $400-$500. Have it disassembled and completely restored to the tune of well over $1000+++ OR you could own this beauty, which is ready to go, for way less!
*This would be an awesome bike to ride or make for a fantastic display wherever you put it! People will marvel at this one! It is gorgeous!
*The tires are 26x2.125". They are WIDE WHITEWALL tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome rims front and rear. This bike has almost no miles on it from when it was new! You can still see the little moulding injection nubs on the tires from when they were new! WOW!
*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 1/2". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 29 1/2". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22 1/2". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is nice! The paint looks good for a 25+ year old bike! (may have a chip or scratch here or there from storage but overall looks good!) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. 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.
FREE SHIPPING IS TO THE LOWER 48 USA STATES ONLY! (I can ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico for around $200. I am unable to ship anywhere else)
*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.</b>
