Fastback Questions

[Neanderthal77]

Hello, I am checking out this bike and was wondering how original and what a fair price range would be? Thank you for any information, Frank

Someone bought this for 40 bucks. I think they got a pretty good deal.

so I got a long time ago this 66 fastback... I looked up the serial number. it says there were 20" fastbacks in 66 in the Violet color... but the tires listed are 20 by 1 2/3 ,whats up with that ? mine had these crazy knobby as well as having odd spacing , what seems extreme between the wheel and fender ?. as I missing something here is it just the way the tire fender spacing is ? and where am going to get those size tires ?

The wheels have been swapped out. You want S-5 wheels, which will be 20x1 3/8. These rims are larger diameter than the ones on there now.

Go look at some other Fastbacks and you will see how they are supposed to look.

Can't really tell what rims are on there (S-2 S-7) but they appear to have been swapped out and not the S-5's that were used.
