Please PM direct with any questions or comments thank you.

You pay actual Bikeflights shipping in the lower 48 USA. I will need your name address and phone number to calculate shipping using Bikelfights website.

Fair to good condition (paint and chrome have oxidation issues in some places) but overall a structurally sound original bike. At some point the bike spent some time stored in poor conditions. I bought it from the family who purchased when new. The tires and tubes are brand new high pressure. The bike rides and stops but may need some fine tuning. The bars and stem are aluminum. Interesting graphics and jockey shifter on front derailleur. The original Ideal seat was changed out at some point. I have the frame for the old seat with name plate still on. Frame is 23" tall and wheels are 27" x 1-1/4". $225. + shipping

May I please see pictures of the fork crown?

My buddy has a similar 60. The fork crown is flat, maybe exclusive for that year.

I've seen three different style fork crowns on these bikes. This looks to be the fourth as it looks unlike any of the others I've seen from what I can see in the pics posted.

The jockey wheel cage on that rear derailleur is set up incorrectly.
