Rare Schwinn 68' Coppertone 5 Speed Fenderless

[mcmfw2]

Anybody notice the sprocket on the 5 spd in this ad, was that a pre-production thing, where any sold with the clover instead of the mag?, I have only seen the Mag, I don't get the fender-less tag either, thought only Deluxe, Super Deluxe ( and whitewall ) & Crates had fenders.

Good eye on that sprocket...not sure why they used it since they had Mag Sprockets on Fastbacks in 67...

Yup one year only color for the 5 speed line. Not sure why they only did one year but I am happy they did so I can say I have another rare stingray

This was one of my first Fenderless 5 speeds that I bought 14+ years ago.
100% Original.
