1982 SCHWINN WORLD 10-SPEED ROAD BIKE VARSITY LETOUR CONTINENTAL SPORT MENS 80s
Here is an original VINTAGE (I believe made the 70th day of 1982 The head badge serial number is 0702 The original 2? stamping is a little hard to decipher. The frame serial number is D49830) mens SCHWINN WORLD 10-speed road bike with 27" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing BLACK colored factory paint with gold accents. You almost never see this color on these bikes and it is cool! If you like hard to find tall frame vintage road 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!

*The tires are 27x1 1/4". They are newer replacement tires and do hold air. The bike has chrome stamped Kinlin 27x1 1/4 rims front and rear. (wheel chrome has loss in a couple small spots)
*The bike is an original TEN SPEED and the gears do operate. The hand controlled brakes are operable as well.
*The bike is an original 10-SPEED and the gears do operate. The hand controlled brakes are operable as well. (may need fine tuning adjustment or possible cable replacement)

The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.
*NOTED FLAWS I got this one just like you see it. LOVE the fact that it wears its original paint and is such a cool color. (has chips scratches etc) Chrome is shiny but not perfect show quality. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to) The rear wheel has a small side ding. (you may not even notice but I like to be honest) This style road bike almost never comes up for sale! Great to display with your Paramount, Voyaguer, or Super Sport! If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail. Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you offer.
*This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. 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,
*A NOTE IN REGARDS TO SHIPPING! Sometimes the guys who pack for me have to get a little creative to ship these tall frame bikes. They usually end up removing both wheels and packing the bike in the box upside down. They have done this a number of times successfully with no issues. Not a big deal but just wanted to give you a heads up. Its really the only way anyone on would be able to ship a bike this size. I hope you enjoy it!
*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 30+ 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 so offer 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 NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you offer. Keep in mind you are offerding 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. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.

*SHIPPING COSTS: Fed Ex, USPS, as well as UPS have recently raised their shipping rates due to the higher cost of fuel. Sorry for the slight increase in shipping costs.
*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. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you offer as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx $319.95. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. This i the best deal I can get to ship to these locations. Please do not offer if this is unacceptable.
