1966 SCHWINN TYPHOON MENS VINTAGE CRUISER BIKE/BICYCLE! Description Here is an original VINTAGE October 1966 (serial number is KB30743) men's SCHWINN TYPHOON beach cruiser bicycle with 26" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing RADIANT COPPERTONE colored factory paint. This is one of the COOLEST looking colors offered by Schwinn in the 1960s and is back in style today. If you like cool unrestored 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! *The Typhoon bikes are great smooth riding bikes! They look good and you dont see them often. This bike appears to be mostly original parts from 1966! Check out the pics! The bike does have some slightly newer bow pedals with reflectors. *The tires are 26x1 3/4". They are vintage slightly newer Schwinn tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome Schwinn S-7 rims front and rear. *The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) *DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28". 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 ok! The paint looks relatively good for a 40+ year old bike! It has scratches chips etc. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality. The front and rear rims have side dents. The chainguard and fenders have dents too. I guess it gives the bike character! The seat looks original but has a strange shape to it. The front wheel is missing one spoke. Not trying to nit-pick the bike, I just like to be honest. 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 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, ... read more
