Well, I never thought I'd own a cruiser, until now ........
I'm mostly interested in restoring / rebuilding vintage road and mountain bikes.
We were out shopping yesterday, and stopped at the big Habitat Re-Store downtown.
Walked in, and in the second isle was a whole row of bikes.
They were mostly all newer Wally World BSO's, tagged at $50 or so............ Except this one, sitting there looking sad, with flat tires, and very filthy
My wife saw it first, and said it was actually a nice looking bike.
And the more I looked, I had to agree -
It's a late 90's (I think) Schwinn Cruiser Six - Totally original as far as I can tell, and looks to have hardly been ridden.
The original "Schwinn Classic" tires look to be in perfect shape, virtually new in fact (but grungy), and the paint is pristine also.
Derailleur and brakes are fine - Like I said, hardly used.
Sadly, the chrome has suffered from the Florida humidity, but I think I have some work-arounds, and have high hopes that the bike will clean up nicely.
So, now I have a cruiser bike (Or rather my wife will)
I'm already becoming attached to it
I do apologize for the poor photo - The humidity was so bad this morning, the camera was fogging up
Oh, and ignore the $10 tag - It was discount day, and only cost $8.50
