Been reading and studying the forum here for the last couple months. I finally picked up a bike. It's my first cruiser and also my first CL buy. It's a Schwinn Rolling Rock and was listed for $50. Bike isn't mint by any means, but is in good shape. The worst part is that the tank had a nice dent in the left half. Since this bike is going to get used, I wasn't too concerned about the tank. However, tonight I managed to push out the dent and get the tank half looking pretty good. Most of the chrome on the bike has a light dusting of surface rust, but a little steel wool is doing a great job of cleaning it up to look almost like new.
Now, I'd love to have some info on this bike. I'm not at all concerned about value, but would simply like to know some facts. I've read that the Rolling Rock bikes were limited to a production run of 500, they were produced in 1990, also read 1997(which one or neither?), were available for sale on Rolling Rock's website, were given away in drawings at bars/liquor stores. I've also seen versions with springer forks. Can anyone help me? I would really just like to be able to answer questions with some knowledge. Thanks in advance.
