1979 Schwinn Hurricane

(Click for full photo)


1979 Schwinn Hurricane 5-speed with Positron Shifter. All original and complete except missing chainguard and has new tubes. Paint has scratches, but not too bad for a 1979. Good chrome. Has all of the last of the classic Schwinn Sting-Ray parts: Cantilever frame, rear S-2 wheel, front S-7 wheel, gold dot brake levers, Schwinn "MAG" chainring, Schwinn Sting-Ray 20 x 2.125 nobbie rear tire and Schwinn Westwind 20 x 1 3/4 front tire. Schwinn saddle in great shape except for a 1 inch cut on the right side. This is the transition cycle from when Schwinn switched from the Sting-Rays to BMX.
