Schwinn 5 Speed Cruiser Found

I picked this up today.

The 26 inch Tange forks and ACS Hubs are what got my attention.

SWEET!!!! Craigslist???

Must have been a garage sale. :wink:

Nice find! I've got a similar bike without the chrome fork and with "Schwinn Approved" hubs (made in France!) I believe this is a 1983 model. I need to find some nice cable clamps and shorten the back segment of derailleur cable.

I got it at a swap meet. 55 smackers.

 

[Markm]

whoa!!!! 55 bucks??? Dont tell Hugo :lol: :lol:
(we'll tell him smackers is slang for thousand)

Let me know if you want to sell those forks. :wink:

I'm gonna hold onto this one. I intend to build it as a late 70s dad's BMX on the cheap. I've already cleaned up some sugino 175 1pc. cranks, faded gold power disc, faded black Pro Neck chainring, old chrome Mongoose headset, a used chrome DX clamp for the coaster brake, etc, etc, etc. If anyone has an interest in the chain guard, seat, 5 speed setup, let me know.
