VINTAGE 1979 SCHWINN CALIENTE MENS RED ROAD BIKE

I volunteer for Community Threads, a non-profit resale shop in Arlington Heights. We recently received a donation of a 1979 Schwinn Caliente Road Bike, and are trying to sell it on eBay for local pick up.

*******************************************************

Description:

US-made, 1979 Cardinal Red Schwinn Caliente 10 speed road bike. Serial number - GL706854. Date code on the head badge - 3177. The serial numbers indicate this bike was built in 1979. You will find it in the 1979 Schwinn Catalogs, available on line.

The bike appears to be nearly all original parts (tires look new) and in Excellent condition - some corrosion on chrome wheels, and some scratches and wear on some of the decals, but the original paint is in amazingly good shape. A little dusty from storage. Have not tested shifting of brakes, but look to be in great shape.

Measurements: 24" C-T men's frame with 32" standover, 27" wheels.
