Description: 1952 SCHWINN CYCLE TRUCK HEAVY DUTY DELIVERY BICYCLE SCHWINN STORE BAR DELI 52! Click Photos to Enlarge Description CHECK THIS OUT! Here is one of the coolest bikes I have listed on ebay in a while! Here is a 1950s Schwinn "Cycle Truck" HEAVY DUTY delivery bicycle! The serial number is A04232 and is stamped on the lower LH dropout. (I believe made between Aug 12 and Aug 18th 1952?) TALK ABOUT COOL! This was used locally and hidden away in storage for decades. I really dig this one!!! This bike is heavy duty and has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! I believe it to be mostly all original as shown. It has a cool design frame with its original frame insert/billboard on the side. (you could leave it or change it to anything. Your auto shop name, grocery store, general store, coffee house, museum etc) Has a tall neck/stem with cool handlebars and red Schwinn script hand grips, tall head tube, AWESOME original seat, front and rear fenders, large FRONT BASKET for deliveries, original chainguard, Schwinn pedals, Skiptooth chain and sprockets, and so much more. Check out the BIG dropstand kickstand on the front! Has the hanger in place for the dropstand. *I love the pinstriping on the frame and the "Schwinn Cycle Truck" Ghost lettering on the bottom frame tube. (pic didnt turn out but you can easily see it in person) LOOK CLOSE, it is such a great look! FROM THE ORIGINAL SCHWINN CATALOG! "The Schwinn Cycle Truck is the ideal one-man delivery vehicle for drug stores, delicatessens and many others. Baskets mounted on frames do not interfere with steering. Heavy duty construction throughout." *The front tire is a thick heavy duty 20x2.125". The rear tire is a heavy duty is a 26x2.125" tire. Both tires do hold air. The bike has original uncleaned front and rear wheels with REALLY HEAVY DUTY THICK spokes and a New Departure rear hub! This bike is awesome! *I BELIEVE this bike to be NEARLY 100% ORIGINAL parts from when it was new! WOW! (see pics and be your own judge) *The bike is a single speed with coaster style brakes. (pedal backwards slightly to stop) *This bike is so unique! IF YOU EVER think you would like to own one of these DONT MISS OUT!!! Imagine the possibilities! Your shop name on the side... ride in parades, display in a museum, sports bar, coffee house, etc! I still see these in use in New York City by local delivery drivers for delicatessens! You RARELY see these and it will turn some heads. It rides great! *NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is not bad! The paint is original and looks respectable for a 60+ year old bike! (it does have chips, scratches, wear, etc) It has survived better than many and thankfully has not been repainted! The chrome is shiny but is not perfect show quality. (chrome would look nicer with time spent detailing. shows age, see pics) Handlebars have some front dents. The bike does not have a head badge. Rear fender was replaced long ago. (see pics) Front fender is not attached to the fork. (not a big deal) NOT trying to nit pick every little thing, just like to be honest) These bikes are OVER THE TOP COOL and almost never come up for sale! I hope you can see the beauty in this one! 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 bid. YES I WILL SHIP THIS BIKE!

This bike will ship in TWO separate boxes due to the very large size. FREE LOCAL PICKUP is always an option. I CANNOT ship anywhere outside of the lower 48 USA states. ENJOY THIS COOL BIKE! *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 *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 WEDDING gift, birthday gift, 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 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 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. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready. *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. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you bid as shipping will cost more. *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!
