Present your best items with Auctiva's FREE Scrolling Gallery. 1960s FIRESTONE VAGABOND CAMPING/COMPACT COMMUTER BICYCLE RALEIGH RSW 16 TWENTYDescriptionNOW THIS IS COOL!Here is an original VINTAGE FIRESTONE "Vagagbond" takedown bicycle with 16" wheels! I believe this was made in the 1960s. (I did not see a serial number) This bike is insanely cool and I have never seen anything quite like it! Remember the Moulton and Raleigh 20s? A unique ride for someone who loves that style bikes! If you like cool 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 is a great bike that an adult or a young person can ride. It has a cool design original paint frame, original FIRESONTE head badge, cool handlebars, chrome chainguard, rear carrier racks, (convenient for carrying things and keeping your hands safely on the bars where they belong) cruiser style seat/saddle, (has rips) Schwinn? pedals, cruiser seat with a gel cover, (cover has a rip) and MORE! What a great bike!*I believe this bike to be mostly all original parts from when it was new! (see pics and be your own judge)*This bike has so many uses! This is a great bike for someone who would like to carry a bike in the trunk of their car, van, or truck. Also great if you want to keep it inside your house or apartment and are limited on space. Dont forget how much FUN these are to take along camping, to the races, or the drag race pits! There is a "Vagabonds" car club. With the Firestone name, people into old cars would go crazy over this!*It has been in VERY long term storage and cannot wait to be enjoyed once again! I am not an expert on these but was super happy to find this and be able to offer it to you. I took lots of pics and have nothing to hide. BE SURE to check them all out!*The tires are 16" TIRES. They are slightly newer replacement tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome rims front and rear.*I sat on this and it is very comfortable for an adult to ride! I can understand why these are so popular!*This one has a LONG stretched frame! I have never seen anything quite like this! It will look cool just on display on your wall!*The bike is an original 1-SPEED with coaster and hand front controlled brake.*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is ok for its age. The paint has survived relatively well for a 40+ year old bicycle! (has chips scratches etc but better than most you find that are 50 years old!) The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (every used bike out there seems to) The bike does not have a rear fender. I went to spin off the "takedown" knob and it broke. (see pics, I will include it) If you Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you bid.*This one will really turn heads at the campgrounds these days! (way more fun than a golf car)*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.
