1980 Schwinn Mag Scrambler
1980 Schwinn Mag Scrambler
Super Schwinn Scrambler Survivor - REUNITED with brother's bike!
The two guys I got this bike and the blue '80 from bought them from the original owners -- two brothers in Tennessee. I bought the red one, then heard about the second one and that they were a matching pair, so of course I had to keep them together! Reunited at last, and they will always be together now.

Very nice survivors, they made it this long, then the blue Scrambler was almost lost by UPS. Several weeks of nail-biting, and I finally got word that it was on its way. Finally it arrived, complete, thank goodness. I really thought it was a goner!
-
I was told by the original owners via the second owners that this is just how the bikes were when bought new. These are 100% original tires, grips, kickstand delete (chrome cover). Rockin' number plates!

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

This frame style in 1980 was the "Phantom" model of Scrambler: http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1971 … 80_34.html

Re: 1980 Schwinn Mag Scrambler
Thanks much! When I had a Huffy, this was the bike I wanted, but never had one. I loved (and still do love) the black Phantoms. Those just rock.
