Here is an original VINTAGE (serial number is F38981) 26" Balloon Tire Delivery bicycle. The serial number is located on the left side rear dropout and I BELIEVE this bike is approximately a 1949 model. It is in the original and very appealing blue colored factory paint. If you like IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!
*I really had a hard time convincing myself to sell this bike as it is the ONLY one I have ever owned. If you look closely, you can see where the US POSTAL DEPT stickers or lettering was. (they are on both sides) I only saw one other bike like this in my life at a local bike show. The guy had it restored with a vintage Car Hot Rod Shop theme. It was gorgeous and gave me the drive to find this bike!
*As far as I can tell, this bike appears to be almost completely original. I rode it a few times and it rides SUPER SMOOTHLY! This bike is a pleasure to ride! When I was in New York City, I saw a few of these riding around still in duty as Deli Delivery bicycles! HOW COOL!
*The tires are the large comfy riding balloon tires. The rear is 26x2.125" and the front is 20x2.125. They are vintage tires and do hold air. I believe the rims are original Schwinn S2 rims front and rear.
*The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike)
*I LOVE the dropstand kickstand on this bike! It works REALLY REALLY well and supports the bike easily. It has a large basket on the front which measures approx 24" by 16" by 12". You can fit a LOT of things in it and they fit safely. The basket is actually attached to the bike, NOT the front steering so the bike is balanced really well and is not dangerous to turn like you think it would be. The bike has the original CYCLE TRUCK headbadge in place. It has the orig fenders, kickstand, basket, chainguard and everything shown.
*I looked under completed listings, someone wants $200 for a head badge, $200 for a kickstand, and $179 for a neck. A chainguard sold for $85, some nos fenders $125 and more. These parts are specific to the Cycle Truck bikes only and are nearly impossible to find. (I would not know where to begin to look if the rims were missing!) MY POINT, everything you see is here and you wont have to spend time searching for impossible to find parts! Ride it and enjoy it like it is or restore it.
*DIMENSIONS The bike will accomadate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is fairly nice considering it is over 50 years old! The paint looks good for a 30+ year old bike! The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality.
*This is a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price
*THIS BIKE WILL SHIP IN AT LEAST 2 BOXES! Come pick it up in person if you like!
*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 50+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!
*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE so bid early and don't miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.
*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. Please keep in mind many of the bikes I list have listed have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you bid. Keep in mind you are bidding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike.
*By bidding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the auction listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you bid regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.
*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.
*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs.
*I have lots of other rare bicycles, bike parts and bike accessories, as well as vintage car parts and unique items on auction this week! Check them out! Combine items to save yourself $$$ on shipping! Email with any questions you may have.
