This bike is 100% original including its original seat and original red line tire (not mounted on bike but it does hold air although it has some cracking). The serial number is HE32465. All in all the bike is in VERY, VERY good shape. The paint retains its bright shine and luster but the bike does have two very minor chips on the chainguard in the corner where the Schwinn starts. It also has a chip on each side of the frame as usual for Krates from the handle bars. There are a few other minor chips BUT I would say much less than average for an original. All the chrome is in EXCELLENT shape with the exception of the goose neck which does have some rust. Pedals are nice and you can still read Schwinn on the sides. The original seat is MINT with no rips or tears and virtually no fading. We have even added matching streamers and a cool horn. Bike rides as good as it looks!!! Overall this bike is a strong 9+ for an original. $3500
