Description

VINTAGE 1953 SCHWINN WASP 26" FULLY RESTORE / ORIGINAL PATINA.
This bike has been fully restored, preserving its original paint and patina and the following has been updated to make it the perfect most durable custom cruiser for years to come. This cruiser was restored, to be ridden, that is why I chose this combination of rims and tires. They are just perfect for a Classic Schwinn.
If you are looking for a Collector's Vintage Schwinn to ride and enjoy for years to come and just not look at it like a trophy, then this is the bike for you, this bike has the best components that you can ask for in a rebuild, the ride is a pure joy and to top it off it is beautiful to look at, everyone will notice your ride!!!
