Description
Selling a nice vintage almost all original 1960 Schwinn Continental. 1st year 10 speed Continental!Only parts of bike that are not original for this model are the newer brake cables and shoes, brand new/ never used tires and possibly the handlebar tape, and I made a custom chain/paint protector. Bike has been hanging in my temperature controlled basement x 4 years plus. Never used since all services done, all bearings cleaned, repacked, everything is very smooth. Paint waxed, shiny but with typical flaws of a bike this age. Entire bike was disassembled, heavily detailed when I did other services. May be minor dust at this time... Pedals taken apart/cleaned-repacked bearings. Very smooth. Rims trued by my shop, but they said they are not perfect, slight hop in rear due to small dent, slight hop in front. Hubs polished-excellent. Cosmetically overall -fair condition. Evidence of the 5 speed cassette having been removed, but is very clean and smooth. Some parts better than fair condition, only parts worse than fair condition are seat (but is original seat) and fork chrome, and chrome in some other areas. Rear Simplex derailleur and shifter are brand new- unused stock-mint! Brakes may need adjustment, as derailleur may also. /buyer should tighten up bolts, as most left snug, due to disassembly/reassembly.
**note- bike to be packed up by a professional bike shop, the shipping cost is a bit higher, in order to offset a portion of the pack up expense. Please consider possibility of added time due to packing to be done by my shop--- asap.
Please,
