1976 Schwinn Spitfire



Single speed, Bendix coaster brake (backpedal to stop). All original and complete except new whitewall tires and tubes and leatherette hand grips. 26 x 2.125 Schwinn S-2 double knurle rims. Paint is original with chips and scratches and some old touch-up where the seat stays meet the seat tube. Chrome has pitting and bare spots. This is among the last runs of the electro-forged cantilever frames. "S" seatpost bolt. A true Chicago USA Schwinn and a great city bomber.
