Dave F’s Free Spirit FS-5

Posted March 27, 2013

Sears Free Spirit FS5

Year- Unknown
Make- Free Spirit
Model- FS-5
A little bit about it- This is a kid’s 20″ 5 speed bike by Free Spirit. I was unable to find out what year it was. I am thinking somewhere in the 70’s. I picked this up on CL for $10 and cleaned it up for my son who was 6 at the time. He loved having a road bike like dad’s. It has a great lugged steel frame that was in great shape. We put knobby style tires on it. I was able to find one NOS and one used in the 20″ x 1 3/8 size. New tubes, cables, brake pads and some new bartape finished it off. He road it a quite a bit untill I just built him a 24″ Varsity. A real neat little bike and something you don’t see every day. Dave F
