Schwinn Supreme Crusier

Anyone have a Schwinn Supreme Cruiser from the late 1990's? I believe they were made in Japan? If so, could you share some pics?

Don't have one, but I've been looking for one for a while. Seem to be very few for sale. I like the shape of the frame design, its one of the few that has the classic look from the 1930s and also was available as a multi speed (6 speed) with rim brakes. Frame design is similar to the current Schwinn Heavy-Duti, but the Heavy Duti is only available as a single speed.

Here's one I gave to my brother recently, pretty sure it has a "made in Taiwan" decal on it. Solid bike.

1991 Schwinn Cruiser Supreme

I have a 1991 (I think) Cruiser Supreme. The 4 digit number on the badge is 1908. The serial number is F98068602. Model number is 0720C (I think). Model number and serial number are at the bottom of the frame on the underside of the crank. This bike has Formula FM11 axles. SRAM 6 speed handle shift, Shimano brakes and gears. Kinlin super alloy wheels. I cannot find another bike anywhere like this one. Any thoughts on this recent Marketplace purchase? Thanks. I cannot submit photos now because I am new to the Bike Forums site and don't have enough messages yet.

replace the bars with one that doesn't point backward as much.. I've done this swap many times, for numerous customers... you will enjoy the bike much more.
the Supreme has better parts than the later taiwan schwinns... you chose well.

Check your Tire Pressure before Any Ride... the tires/tubes Will Lose Pressure just sitting around.. they ALL do that.
Go thru it and replace the grease in ALL the bearings before it goes bad. If you don't have the tools or mechanical skills, have this done by a Bike shop.
Have the chain checked for wear.. replace it before it damages the sprockets..
Have the spokes checked and re-tensioned before the wheels have a problem.
keep the chain lubed with actual chain Lube , whether it gets replaced or not.
CLEANING YOUR BIKE with a rag and a bit of penetrating oil is a great way to find any problems before parts get damaged..
"Washing it" will introduce water to places it shouldn't be, and leave behind a lot of dirt too.. NEVER used a pressure washer on the bike.

And NEVER get any oil on the rims.. it WILL Ruin the Brakes. Prevent overspray by placing a piece of cardboard between the rim and the chain when lubing the chain, then use the lube sparingly..

And ArmorAll Can Kill or Injure You, if it's applied to the tires, grips, or seat.... i've watched a nearly new $5000 Motorcycle (1993 dollars) get Totaled because a rider didn't heed this Warning... he only broke his collar bone ... THREE people said "i wouldn't do that, it's dangerous !" The bike had just had it's first, "600 miles" tune and service.... he lovingly applied a coating of the shiny slime before leaving our dealership... the bike shot out from under him, then flew through the low brick wall and a large plate glass window of an Insurance office across the Boulevard.... narrowly missing the receptionist at her desk.
