Rare 1970s Retro Banana Seat Bike

This bike is a time machine back to endless summer days — cruising barefoot, towel over your shoulder, heading to the beach to wait for the perfect wave. It’s the kind of ride you'd park in the grass while the sun set and the radio played in someone's garage. Maybe you built a dodgy jump out of bricks and plywood and gave your mates a show, convinced you were one stunt away from being Evel Knievel. This classic wheelie bike features chrome springer forks, tall ape hanger handlebars, a banana seat with sissy bar, and whitewall tyres. It's single-speed with a coaster brake — simple and reliable. All the style, all the nostalgia. The bike has that perfect vintage patina — it’s not a polished museum piece, but a genuine survivor. The frame is solid, the chrome still shines in parts, and the tyres hold air. Expect some surface rust and signs of its age, but that’s part of its charm. Clean it up and ride as-is, or give it the restoration it deserves. This is ideal for someone wanting a fun retro project, a cool prop or photo shoot piece, or just to relive their childhood. It turns heads, sparks conversations, and brings smiles wherever it goes. New replicas of this style sell for $900–$1,000 NZD. This is your chance to own the real thing for a fraction of the price.
