About this product
This is a 1988 Schwinn Sprint Road Bike, a large 58cm vintage model with a red lugged steel frame, manufactured in the United States. It's a 12-speed (2x6) bike with 27-inch clincher tires and drop bar handlebars. The bike is equipped with Caliper - Side Pull brakes and stem shifters. Features include an adjustable seat and a kickstand, making it suitable as a cafe commuter. It weighs 40 lbs and has no suspension.
Our take
The 1988 Schwinn Sprint is a classic vintage road bike that could be a great find for a retro commuter or casual rider. The lugged steel frame offers that timeless aesthetic and a comfortable ride, even if it adds to the 40 lb weight. With 12 speeds and 27-inch wheels, it's well-suited for city cruising. Side-pull caliper brakes and stem shifters are period-appropriate, functional for their time but not as advanced as modern components. At $99.43, it's an accessible way to own a piece of Schwinn history, especially with the added convenience of a kickstand and adjustable seat.
