You dont know the model? Beach cruiser is not a Schwinn model.

1963 Schwinn Middleweight example (POST 2)

I can tell you that it rides like a beach cruiser - it's a 1963 Schwinn Jaguar Middleweight (there is a similar picture of a Jaguar like mine listed on the Cabe).

I don't know if's meant to be a boy's bicycle of not ??

Click below to see the mirror image of mine:

1963 Schwinn Jaguar - Coppertone

Lastly, I can't take pictures until this Summer - stored in another location.

Thanks for your comment !

They only made the Jaguar deluxe cruiser for a few years and it is top end still respected and sought after by cruiser fans and vintage collectors, With good all original paint and decent overall chrome rideable as is mostly original I could see $400-500 to the right buyer if it has all the extras tank, fenders, rack big plus and chain guard matching. All of which were stripped off by users dumb young kids to make these bikes cooler and faster in later 1960s-2000s most rat rodded or destroyed so it's rare to see one complete.

Schwinn Middleweight **Coppertone Color (reply to Schweinhund

Thanks for your reply. I think the Coppertone Color with Chrome is pure: SICKNESS 👙

I AM sourcing for a Springer Fork but I want a vintage one (i.e., not the Schwinn reissue in early nineties), if you can help ❓

Ladies Schwinns are step through.
My local CL has several old schwinns languishing, they require the right person...

I only find them at C&V yard sales and possibly ebay.

You will have to likely find a lesser Schwinn donor bike at good price to get vintage correct fork
