INFO
• Vintage Skiptooth Hiawatha Tank Bike in Original as found weathered condition. Will need a full tune-up as it's been stored for years, nothing seized, is weathered but not corroded.
• Solid straight bar steel frame with weathered cosmetics. The frame is good, no issues or damage.
•Has the rare brass train badge in good shape/colors.
• Good original vintage leather springer saddle, obviously needs to be covered but the frame is good and solid.
• Chrome on the bike is wearing, flaking & pitting. the big wide original beach cruiser bars shows aging, but still good. Skiptooth crankset turns though needs bearings greased, Skiptooth chain turns but needs to be cleaned and lubed.
• Original steel rims with New Departure hubs/coaster brake. Both spin but have slight wobble as there are some loose spokes that if adjusted, would straighten up. Both vintage tires appear original and are shot.
• Obviously the forks are bent, the frame is not. I will include another era correct to the bike replacement fork with the bike.
• Overall a great bike to restore or display. All original and ready to be revived.
