Looks like the guys fishing for that PacMan ghost over on the lower left side!

Unidentified ladies vintage cruiser
I am not sure what year make or model this is. The logo is beaten and the only clue is the unique frame design and firestone chain guard.

I just started to restore a 1959 Schwinn Hollywood. Hoping it won't take too long to finish. Will post pics of completed bike.

Here's my Raleigh Retroglide NX Seven. I haven't been able to determine the year. It has a 7 speed Nexus hub and it was a CL find for under a hundred. It's a good ride for the 5 min. commute to work. It's not that I'm covering 5 miles in 5 minutes on it, though.

Sorry but this bike does not follow a classic cruiser design so it can't be a true cruiser.
However, this bike is a very nice, very modern mountain bike design.

I posted a pic of my Schwinn cruiser at the beginning of the thread, but that was before she was decked out with a basket, rearview mirror, cyclocomputer, and of course, pink skull bell!

The Worksman cruiser. It now has baskets front and rear instead of the rack, and has different handlebars.
I no longer have this bike- stolen up in Denton. It was a Schwinn Heavy Duty, made in Taiwan, used in chemical plants. I bought it down in the Houston area for $60, re-trued the non-original wheels enough that it was rideable, and otherwise left it alone. It had lots of character, in a chemical-plant way.

Ok, one more and I'll stop...I swear.
I couldn't stand the stock bars on my Sanctuary...ended up going back with Ape Hangers, only this time, no front brake.
I think I'm done tinkering with it for now...and yes, I know my chain is slack.

One of the hardest things about a restore is finding the original factory decals.
