    Can I get a couple of opinions on the Jamis earth cruiser?

    dig em both...especially the chrome one. As far as keeping mine original, it will be for the most part, except for the cranks and pedals. I took the foam off the bars cuz I didn't like it, and the grips were junk. So I have new grips on the way, and the cranks are coming off my 62 typhoon.

    Can I get a couple of opinions on the Jamis earth cruiser?

    Thx wildcat. I still have the rear wheel to de-rust-ify...the front wheel turned out beeyootiful. Gonna re-grease the cranks, maybe put a set of Schwinn cranks on there. Ill post some pics when the rear wheel is done. I dig the bmx style, but these bars are soo nice, I cant bring myself to take...

    Can I get a couple of opinions on the Jamis earth cruiser?

    "THE TAXI"...DIG IT! Now I have a theme to run on. :113: It had the rainbow stickers on the frame as well, but I removed em...I prefer frames to look really clean. I do like the stickers on the forks though...go figure.

    Can I get a couple of opinions on the Jamis earth cruiser?

    No details except "in good shape", but it appears to be a mid 80s model. The graphics on the chainguard are the same as an 84 model. It has the bmx style bar clamp (solid 4 bolt block top, not the "U" style) the straight tube forks, aluminum bmx style seat post clamp and 1 piece steel cranks w...

    Any headset experts out there?

    so that's a confusing question...not sure I understand. The factory Schwinn lower bearing race, that actually goes on the fork stem itself has too small of an ID to fit around the landing gear fork stem. That is the only part I used from another headset. The rest of the parts were all factory...

    Any headset experts out there?

    So on my Kamehameha build, I put landing gear forks (1" threaded) on a 52 Schwinn Excelsior, 26" cruiser frame. I used an aftermarket headset I had laying around but it is not correct. Its either too loose or tight and wont stay put. I bought the frame off Ebay and it came w no headset. So a...
