Looking for the difference in drop out spacing between a single speed coaster brake and a 5 speed derailleur type. And does the 5 speed have more offset on the drive side dropout to make room for the gear cluster?Specifically Schwinn Cruisers from the late 70' - early 80's. Thanks!

I keep staring at this color, it's mesmerizing!

Sunlite Sandy Beach, and Sunlite Revolution are both solid black. I just bought a set.

Looking for 26" Schwinn balloon tire fork with chrome crown, like what would be on a early 80's cruiser. Thanks!

The wife's twin bar will eventually get a make over, meaning new paint, so the forks will match, probably same color. It had an aftermarket springer on it, which looked good, but was falling apart, not to mention I love Schwinn blade forks. Maybe a new wheelset to replace the cheap ones on it...

Very cool build, can't wait to watch the progress!

Notched rear of the drop outs for good locating of chain tensioner.

I forgot to show I had to remove this as well!

For got picture of frame jig from far back.

Now lots of tire room!

Just in the last year we have started going camping, which means you need to have a sweet 26" Cruiser. My best friend asked me to build him a Beach Cruiser for when we go camping. He gave me full creative control. I knew it would be to expensive to do a real period correct late 70 early 80's...

1970's Swing Bike, I don't know a lot about these bikes, it does appear to have original parts, but as you can see, someone spray painted the chrome black, and the frame has been re-painted red. Everything works on the bike, I've ridden it. I don't see any damage, dents or repairs. Price is...
