Joe B.’s Schwinn Caliente

Posted

His Craigsness, Joe B., has another flip offering. A mid to late ’80s Schwinn Caliente.  Hot, hot, hot!
Schwinn Caliente
It's incomplete without one of these!Crank it up!Some fresh Cheng Shins and she's ready to roll.Wald Goodness

Bought for $10 off craigslist. Had to replace the front wheel with another used one for $10. Added a water bottle cage, a chrome rear rack, new reflectors, new tires – tubes & rim strips. Sold in an hour on craigslist for $160. It’s that “Old Ten Speed Gallery.com” sticker that sells ’em! Sorry about the crappy photos from in the basement. It rained today.

Thanks again Joe

    I saw one of these at a thrift store today for 15 bucks. I didnt get it cause i didnt have my bike rack on my car, but after reading this I think I might go back tomorrow, buy it and resell it.
