Ever seen an old Batbike?

[iggy]

 

This one's up for auction in an estate sale tomorrow & I'm wondering what it's worth... any ideas?

It's worth alot! Very rare item for sure.

Even the center batman emblem(which is usually gone) is present. (thumbs u

And the emblem is upside down....we know what that's done for the value of stamps.

Can't say much for the person who assembled it.

Looks like the original tires too...

Whoo-wee! That was the height of fashion back in the 1960's. Banana seat, high-handle bars, wheelie-wheel, high backrest, stick-shift gears, raised-letter tire .............

I would go to that auction and throw whatever I felt it would take to win. That bikes got to be worth some $$$.

[iggy]

It'll probably go for a steal since I'm not able to go.

A friend had one of those, only his didn't have the wheelie bar/wheels. I wonder if that was an aftermarket add-on.

As far as the other bike,any idea what year it is from? I remember FAO Schwartz having a Bat-bike but this one looks pretty barebones for them.

[oakman29]

I'm pretty sure it's a Schwinn from 1966,but the Bat emblem looks newer.

Weren't those called sissy bars? It is indeed awesome!

 

It was around 1969 that I customized my bike with fork extensions and a front mini-wheel. Totally impractical, and probably looked more stupid than cool, but I was just a dumb kid.

Those old center shift scwinns are worth a lot,add the "batbike" theme to it and that thing has to be worth a small fortune.

The wheelie bar is an after market piece and very rare. I believe they only made them for a short while.

They may have made after market ones,but this one is pure original Schwinn.This would have been the top of the line bike for 1969

[dupont2005]

I didn't know Schwinn made those
