'64 Halloween bike

I got this one out today for a ride through the neighborhood. My 1964 King Size Heavy Duti. This one has a serial number that ends in 666 and the stamp date on the drop out is 10/31/1964 Halloween. And you thought the Devil rode a Phantom.

It is one of my favorites. It is my JYD baddest bike I own.

I'll trade my '01 Heavy and some platform shoes. Oh, wait... that doesn't work.

Wow, that is a tall frame. Just currious what is the distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat tube. I have never come across a King size Schwinn in the wild.

It is a 20 inch seat tube compared to 19 on standard frame. The head tube is almost 8 inches as opposed to 6 which also adds to its larger size.
