Muscle bike tires, specifically, Colorline 16” fronts

They were an accessory item offered over the counter. They also offered painted fenders with stipes to match the bikes. Those are SUPER rare. I saw a set in person once,they were way cool.

Wow, I would have preferred that over chrome any day.

Anybody have a picture source for these?

1969 could have either sparkle or Kool Orange grips toward the end.
I had an MD Pea Picker, it had a color line rear Slik and I found a color line Superior just before I sold it. I also had a Silverglow accessory Pea Picker seat on it.

Yes , the tire came to me with a Stingray Slik. It is clearly an aftermarket I just noticed the made in Taiwan. Could it have been aftermarket in the '70s? Sorry I will not hijack this thread anymore.

Schwinn never used LHR tires or any tire on Krates or stingrays unless it was "Made in USA"
The colorline fronts were sold at Schwinn dealers only.

I just found this original green color line Superior for a Pea Picker on eBay.
Shows they existed, this is not a painted on line.

I posted my original orange line here on November 10th - they were accessory tires

Yes, I showed that to help answer this question as well man. Thanks, I missed the Orange line tire. I did have one like the Green line for the MD Pea Picker I used to own.
