my friend showed me this bike and i thought it looked pretty killer, plus skip tooth. I've never heard of a schwinn built fleet wing, but the headbadge looks familiar.

they are asking 140, should i take the plunge?

I say try for $100 and then buy..
If not, try less than $140...Looks like its got nice parts

i snapped, its now mine.

its going to need some work but it rides smooth. paint job is awful, but its solid.

with all that said consider this the beginning of my entry into the buildoff

yea, thats it, the fork is interesting it has pin holes in it. i guess it allows you to put pins in the holes to adjust how much it turns because it is a postal bike and there was a chance they would have a heavy load on the front.

front fender has a mud flap, rear fender is missing one, the worst part of the bike is that the chain was spray painted, but i think with a lil determination i can get it cleaned, the wheels are spray painted too...hub and all, but that shouldnt be too hard to clean.

rear hub is a "morrow" or something like that, in order to brake i have to back pedal on revolution, really strange.

it rides really smooth tho

other than the paint its great
