1970's Free Spirit Three Speed

This is a 1970's Free Spirit Three Speed step through frame. These frames are commonly women's bike frames because it is easier to mount the bike in a 'lady' like manner. Most of these bicycles were produced over seas for Sears & Roebuck Co. and sold at Sears department stores. They where equipped with 26"x1-3/8" wheels and Shimano 3-speed rear hub and shifter. They were built out of very tough tubing, making for a heavy lightweight bike. These bicycles often make great short distance commuters and cruisers due to the option of having gears and their relaxed upright riding position. The components are rudimentary but get the job done and will remain reliable with proper maintenance. The pictured bicycle is completely original.
