1999 Schwinn Cruiser 6

[IJamEcono]

I was told someone had an older Schwinn bike with big tires on it, and of course my mind started racing. So I rolled into the driveway and this is what was waiting for me. It was $25 bucks. I knew it wasn't a Chicago Schwinn, but I figure I could flip it and make a little money. So I get the bike home and decide to ride it. And I'll be ......, the bike rides beautifully. Not compared to an old Schwinn balloner, but a LOT better than I thought it would. The msrp for these was over 300, so perhaps quality is a bit better? I don't know, but I think I will keep it...along wth the heavy duty rims, the old Schwinn seat, and the electrical tape on the grips.

I picked up a 2000 model Cruiser Four at AnnArbor swap. It has a Nexus hub. Needs chain, seat and handlebars yet. Looking forward to getting it going.
They were made in Korea By Giant. Glad to hear you like yours.

Thanks. Are you sure mine was Giant made? Info seemed scarce, but with the msrp so high, I thought maybe it was.

Sorry I misspoke - Giant is from Taiwan not Korea.

My Schwinn badge looks like a traditional one but below it is this decal.
