I think with the prices i see stingrays at these days, 1k for an innovative and unique bicycle such as this aluminum constucted silver king is a good honest price.
I cant recall the size of the chain. I needed to replace it when i got the bike and it was very difficult to find the right one. I ended up finding a guy on a forum that sold me a nos one.
I've got the shifter arm for it but its missing the spacer and hardware at the bottom. Also would like to find a shifter knob.
The gear block is an Atom.
Yeah I dig em too! This is about as new as i would go for a lightweight. The 60 is just so special. After these it was just not as good looking. The built in chain gaurds on the later varsitys are ugly imo.
I've got an original ideal saddle on my 60 varsity that I'm considering parting with if you're interested. I'm thinking about putting a Brooks on mine so i dont have to feel guilty about riding it.
Wow i thought that was just a mistake in the Assembly of the frame. Good to know. Here's me doing the "repair" to the bent forks. Took it too far lol. That thing rode terribly after.
I bought this bike about 10 years ago from the original owner. He got it for Xmas when he was 8 years old. Crazy young to get such a bike but i guess his parents were forward thinking and didn't want to have to buy him another bike ever again lol. It had a huret derailleur on it and incorrect...

Cool man thanks for the heads up. I would like to find the cirrect parts. I grabbed the seat clamp off that bike too but i think its supposed to have the D shaped bolt for this era. Well this one will work until i find the correct one at a good price. I got the stem and clamp for $8!
Thanks for the response. Very informative stuff. I had another new world that was unfortunately stolen from my backyard last year. Pretty heartbreaking really. Im excited to have another. Ive also got a 1960 varsity 8spd with the Simplex components.
I just picked up this 49 Schwinn New World and have done a couple things to it but not much. The guy i got it from put some modern parts on it and im in the process of trying to get it corrected. I picked up a seat post clamp and stem from a 1959 schwinn frame, possibly a racer or something...
