This may be seen as incorrect in this forum, but I'd encourage your folks to buy one new bike from an LBS to replace the cruiser. It will be lighter and faster. I'd get the 3 speed working for the other ride, for now. The objective is to get them to ride. Once they are hooked, then you can bring over the vintage steel road bikes to get them really moving.
