New rims and tires. I had a set of Vans Cult gum/blacks ordered out of Denmark and when they didn't show up, I had UPS do a search for them and apparently they were lost in US Customs. So temporary tires for right now to cruise around until I can find another set, which is apparently not...

Thanks for sharing out some knowledge Matti

So as not to clutter up the build thread, want to keep this parts question thread separate. Wheels: Front axle is a 3/8", but what about rear? Looking to upgrade wheel set to a modern 26" BMX wheel set, but not sure on that rear axle size and what size rear hub will fit between dropouts...

I am sure they are because the person I got them from was cool as heck in dealing with and much more knowledgeable than myself. I just didn't know where to check for markings. They work for me tho, so that is all I am caring about. LOL!

Hey all, Been here for a bit browsing and gathering information before starting this thread with actual progress. Hope to be getting more done on this in the coming weeks now that I have a bit more time with work schedule changes. So started out with a bone stock 1980 Schwinn Cruiser (CC7-6)...

Hey all, Name is Richard and coming in from nice and sunny Tucson, except for last week when it actually snowed here! Grew up riding a BMX bike while my dad was on his Schwinn Cruiser. Now that I am a dad, my daughter is on the mini-BMX and my dad handed over his Cruiser to me now that he...
