I found an add for a 26" mens Schwinn cruiser on Craigslist today. So I figured it was worth at least checking out. Not bad at all for the price. All of the chrome has some surface rust. I will not call it light surface rust but nothing that will not come off. The tires are a little bit dry rotted as well. Overall the frame is in great condition and the paint is in good condition. The seat and bars are not original but one thing that was cool is the frame badge still had the clear plastic layer from when it was new. There are some scratches and scrapes and it is dingy looking but it should cleanup nice. Best part.... it was only $25.
I really don't have a guess for age. The guy said he had it for either 12 years or 20 years. Anyone have any idea on age? Also what is good to use to bring out the shine on a frame. The paint is in good condition but a little dingy. What should I use to bring out the shine a little?
Thanks,
Eric
