This one comes with a story. My sister was crusing the Kansas City craigslist estate sale adds when she saw something she thought I might like to have. She emailed me the link and to my surprise I found myself looking at a NOS Schwinn American. She went to the estate sale and was able to get me the bike. It was purchased new and put on an exercise stand. The bike has nevre been on the road. It has never been out side. It is as mint new as you will ever see outside of a bike in its original box. here is the best part, I have not cleaned any part of this bike. This is just how it was found, and I have not detailed any part of this bike as of yet. Not a bad bike for $125.00. Big thanks sister!! (A.K.A. kcbikepirate jr. ) :mrgreen:

It's about time you posted that thing! :)
You should give them a pic with it on the original stand. I thought it looked groovy that way.
An incredible find.....

Did you get the go cart finished??

could not fit the stand in the van because I had just bought to much stuff. I found the apple krate at a garage sale, I traded for the violet stingray and I finished the Rupp go kart while I was in KC, so the van was pretty full. Man I forget just how good the shopping in KC can be :mrgreen:
