Had this for a number of years and have decided to sell it (hopefully at Trexlertown or before) so I took a few pics.
Amazing original condition for a 1980 including Sand Jam tires, 2 way pedals, and Cheeks saddle. Check out the tire tred...perfect beach/boardwalk cruiser.

i don't wear skinny jeans and i do the exact opposite with my bikes. A bike without the original chainguard is a bike missing an essential part.
I'll change wheels, sprockets, cogs, pedals, everything, but it has to have that rattley bastard attached to the side. (after being made non-rattley of course)

Lean and clean It shall stay, Took off all the stickers, may leave just the fork stickers, not sure.
Waxing the whole bike soon...
Was $99, but Missing the chain guard and a nasty scratch on the back fender so $79
Aluminum Frame and stem.
Used my extra Bonty seat post, was just under 32 pounds home from the store.
Now Is right at 30 with much lighter pedals,
lighter seat post and seat clamp, stripped of fenders and the plastic junk.
30 pounds Includes the kick stand, It stays on.

My Mango Cruiser. Paid $10 for it off a Facebook garage sale group. I just had to air up the tires and make some adjustments.
This is phase 2, with the seat changed out and a rear cargo rack. Thought about putting on a Wald double basket but now I've settled on removing the rear cargo rack and adding a pizza rack to the front instead.
Phase 3 will be some hanger bars (I need something wider and figured I'd go taller at the same time) and the pizza rack.

An update to my Mango, with the ape hangers installed. Ape hangers required a new stem, so I got a double bolt steam. Still need to replace the cables, especially the front brake. Probably bring the bars back a few degrees once I do.
I also changed out the tires and put on a mirror, but still need to play with the placement of the mirror.
Front rack is supposed to be here tomorrow.
My wife got jealous of my cruiser, so I found this one for her. Already replaced the seat and changed out the stem so I could raise the bars some (she's a tall woman) but I think I'm going to switch it to the stem I just took off my Mango; just don't care for the look of this stem. A new basket - pink, of course - and a kickstand are on the way.
