Schwinn Cruiser Find

[user 13947]

Cool site. This is my first post. I just got this Schwinn cruiser from a guy I did some work for. Instead of paying me, he told me I could take my pick of the bikes he has. This one caught my eye for sure. He told me it was a 1969, but it looks newer. Maybe 80s? I plan on getting some fenders, an old school Schwinn seat, and maybe a basket. The 2nd pic is of the 1977 Schwinn Town and Country Trike I just restored. It's a cool ride for trips w/ my kid to the park. Talk soon...

I don't think that is a 69, Looks like a 80's cruiser. Post the serial Number and we can tell you the year. I dont want to be the bearer of bad news in any way just thought you should Know.

Ozzy is right, it's not a '69, but that is in no way bad news! :mrgreen: That's a nice coaster brake bomber that won't disappoint you. I'm digging the BMX fork, and it even looks like the wheels have heavy spokes. It's porbably 100% original as you see it right now.

The Town and Country is mint.

Its a 80 or 81 probably has heavy duty spokes and s-2 wheels

 

[Howeeee]

No it is probably a 95 or so made in Taiwan,,

Serial # is: Y6901342. I did a little bit of research and found like justl like it that was a 1969. I won't be disappointed if it's newer at all. It's a really cool bike and a big boy bike. I'm 6'7", so this bike will work just fine. Thanks for all the responses and for looking...!!

i had the same one with the same stickers that was an 85 and those forks and stem are a dead give away.

Cool Cruiser, it's about an 86-87. Check the headbadge for the 4 digits. Good job on the trike too.

What did you use for paint on the trike? Is it Petes/Hyper-formance or a close match?
Im looking for alternatives to 25.00 per can gouging on a can of paint.

X, the paint is 100% original. It is the "Sky Blue" color Schwinn did, even though it's more of a royal blue. Lucky me, right?...)
