1955 Schwinn Tiger 3 Speed BicycleThis is a 1955 schwinn tiger. Serial number begins t37 which means it was made between 10/01 and 10/11 1955. Bike is as it was found, not messed with, and rides beautifully.
Original candy apple red panit with white fender darts and pins. No touhc ups! Typical scratches with worst part being the rear fender where it appears the paint was rubbed off in places, maybe due to some saddle bags that may have been mounted at some time. Sturmey archer 3 speed shifts nicely, and weinmann brakes controlled by red dot levers do their job just fine. Chrome 26 center-stamped s-7 rims are dent free, spin true, and the chrome shines brilliantly! Rera tire is an original u. S. A. Schwinn westwind white wall and the fornt is a u. S. A. Schwinn straight side tornado white wall. Both are 26 x 1 3/4, ohld air great, and have good tread. Tire combo makes for a smooth ride. Original early large cap bow pedals are the rare type with screws through the chrome edges.
They are a bit msishapen but spin freely. Original schwinn approved seat is ni good condition. Red phantom style grips are nice with no end chews.
Big badge. Bars are straigth and chrome is good, minus one spot where it looks like something was mounted. It even has an original bicycle license tag on the rear fender expiring in 1958 from local sturbridge here in new england. Right below it si a sweet raspberry reflector (don't see them too often). I threw a couple of duracells in the light and the freaking thing worked.
Both high and low beams! The horn (button no bars) even beeped. Loud! Overall, this is a great and rare originla very early schwinn middleweight bicycle with great patina that is ready to ride as it is. This isn't your everyday middleweight schwinn! As always, a low starting bid and no reserve! Thanks. Flat rate shipping very carefully bubble wrapped via ups is $75 to lower 48 only. Pay pal ro u. S. P. S. Money order only please. (all others will be returned and bike will be re-listed unless you asked first to pay differently).
