Fresh Find 24 " Schwinn FLEET

[OZ1972]

Pretty nice condition 24 " schwinn FLEET , I really like it but it's a shame it's not a 26 " , too small for me to ride but a very nice addition to my collection , thanks for looking !

Oooh! That sweet Fleet would make a nice looking 24" Stingray-Fleet.

Neat find! Yes, too bad it's the unloved 24'' model. What do ya do with them is the eternal struggle.

Man its a killer looking survivor, even being a 24". I dont usually side with modifying factory trimmings, but Im kinda with @GTBruiser on this one, it would make a killer 24" stingray and its nothing you cant undo if need be.

if you raise the seat way up they are rideable. Sting Ray handlebars help in that area. I just sold a 53 Hornet (?) 24" that had stingray bars. the only thing odd is pedaling with the short cranks.

Nice Fleet. What year is it? 67 or 68?

I love the 24" bikes. Even with the seat and stem down like that one doesn't bother me. At 5'8" I can ride with no problems. Perhaps not on a long ride but all I do is ride around the subdivision. I'm not really into ergonomics. I can remember when I was about 9 years old and just not quite big enough for my brothers 26" bike I would drool over the 24" bikes at Western Auto.
