Nice 1953 Schwinn Hornet

[Dan the bike man]

1953 Schwinn Hornet with Spitfire badge. Rides nice, 9 hole rack, front light, horn tank, nice original red and cream paint. I took modern accessories off handle bars. $700 picked up in MI or $780 shipped. Thank you for looking.

I THINK THE CAMERA VIEW IS THE PROBLEM.
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED PARALLAX THAT IS CAUSED
BY A WIDE ANGLE ZOOM LENS USED BY THE CAMERA AND CAUSES
DISTORTION IN THE PIC. LOOKS LIKE A BONAFIDE 26 INCH BIKE.
WHERE ARE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS TO ANSWER WHY
THE BIKE LOOKS SMALLER?
OTHER WISE A NICE BIKE!

Could you please post the serial number on your Hornet?

 

[Dan the bike man]

Serial, tire size, paint closer - it's nice!
