This one was on Ebay last week in Florida. Been looking for a set of these gold wheels for a while now. Started a conversation with the seller and we worked out a deal. Had him drop it off at my friend Ed Ferri's place....Planet BMX to be packed and shipped. They did a great job and also included a set of tires and tubes. Looking forward to giving it the magic Texas water treatment and adding a few other period correct touches.

Saw that bike being sold along with another bike. Glad you were able to get the owner to split the pair! Should be a nice addition to the newly formed Strandie forum! Jealous!
 
Are there any updated pics on this great find? Also, are the spokes 12g? Rims are Ukai? This is such a cool find!

Wheels, seat clamp and seat post went on another Schwinn cruiser which got traded to another member.

They were 12 gauge spokes with UKAI rims.

I usually don't like newer bikes but that is sweet!
