Schwinn American

Never seen an american setup like this - low and stretched looking. Pretty cool. Crazy price.

1955 was the first year for the American and some other middleweights so maybe they have a late 1954 serial #. Definitely a repainted bike, the seat is different from stock too. Maybe it looks stretched because of the (non-original) layback seatpost??

 

[rennfaron]

Definitely. I wasn't saying stretched, as the frame is stretched, just looks it because of the seat post and drop bars. Thought it had a cool look to it.

No comment on the ridiculous price?

I will happily say it if no one else will. That sumbitch is on crack.

I like the shifter that goes nowhere held on with nothing........ Can't even roll it down to the gas station to pump up the tires?

The tires are 26x1 3/4". It is in the original and very appealing red colored factory paint. Sold as is simply because it is used. (not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc.

if you look close the crank is just setting in the bottom bracket. it is not bolted in. the ad has to be a joke!
