SOLD CUSTOM 1979 SCHWINN CRUISER STRANDIE

[Rat Rod]

Selling my custom built October 1979 Schwinn Cruiser. I had the frame and fork powder coated candy apple blue and applied a set of vinyl reproduction decals. The wheel set was professionally built using new Sturmey Archer internally geared 3 speed freewheel drum brake hubs, vintage chrome Schwinn S2 knurled steel wheels and DT Swiss stainless spokes. The following parts were all used in the build...

• Schwable Fat Frank Tires
• Felt Leather Cruiser Saddle
• AME Unitron Grips
• Chromoly Layback Seat Post
• DiaCompe Seat Clamp
• Al's Rapid Transit Cruiser Handlebars
• True Torch BMX Double Clamp Stem
• Welgo Bear Trap Pedals
• Chrome Chain
• All bearings packed with Park Polylube.

This bike rides, stops and shifts as it should and is extremely comfortable to ride. There's nothing like riding a vintage cruiser with a freewheel! Only blemish is a oxidation spot on the rear rim the size of a quarter. Since finishing the build a few months ago the bike has been ridden 3-4 times on pavement and stored indoors in a smoke free environment.

Asking $1200 Shipped in the U.S.

Nice bike!

I'm a little surprised that you didn't clean it up before taking pictures. It's not like you.

At least the valve stems are straight.

I gotta say, I cannot install a bike tire without thinking of you every single time Clancy.

Looks like she's headed to sunny Florida.
