They were "non functional", they could run, but they were missing a few components that kept them from running. Makes me wonder if anybody made one run.

So an update on the Cobbler; I had stripped parts from it with intentions to rebuild and donate it to the bike co-op last year. I kinda got bored with it and wanted something a bit lighter. Plus Cranbrooks seem to come and go in my life, this was my fourth or fifth one. I more or less traded it...

That black one could be another Sierra or High Sierra. Could be a Mesa or Mesa Grande. You'd hafta check the numbers since it was most likely repainted. Schwinns labels weren't sticker back then, they're painted on.

The one I have. The stem came from a broken Lotus Pegasus I had. The only other brakes that'll swap are Ubrakes. I kinda wanted another to put Ubrakes on and modernize it a bit more and keep this on a bit more vintage.

It's probably Hi-Ten steel. Most of those cheapo Fixie/ss bikes are, like Pure Fix and State. I'm not saying 600 is cheap, but by the eyes of the companies and the hardcores[BikeForum users], it is. When it comes to these bikes, that's about low/mid. The pricer bikes tend to use better steel...

You guys probably knew this one already, but for those who don't, it's a nice trick. Long story short; last year I came across two abandoned bikes on my trip downtown a few blocks apart, one of my favorite bikes; a Cranbrook, and a bike I had been wanting since I saw them, I think a year...

Won't work. At least it not for very long.

I run a 48/16 on my LaJolla and Olympic, single speeds, and both of them move pretty good, so a 47/16 shouldn't be too far off. If it's called the Tiger Lilly, maybe add some flower stuff to it, like grips, chain gaurd, and badge?

It's looking good.

Lookin' good.

few years back, there was a guy who had a noat wheel on his. He said it was a 60s or 70s boat.

Yep, that's it. Was dissapointed to see it was steel. And it's hard to tell if it's bigger than a Cranbrook.

Thanks. At the moment, unless a job comes along, I'm sol. Yeah, I wanted the dual drive just for aesthetics.

I have also two different ashtabula bmx 3pc I can put on it, once I get bolts for them. I love Cranbrooks, but I kinda want a bigger lighter frame to swap the parts on. I've been seeing these new cruisers everywhere, that look alloy, and might be bigger, no clue what they are.

I needed a spare bike and threw this one together. I did welding, so it counts as a build. I made cable guides from an ink pen I cut up and zip tied them on there. I think it has that muscle bike look, with that 650b back wheel.Last one was me at a bar with zero bike parking. There was a group...
