The first is my 2003 Torker Boardwalk 3speed cruiser.
Had for about a year now, and bought it from the LBS down the street. Absolutly love this bike, despite its very loud Nexus hub. Want to upgrade the grips and pedals, but want to find a non-twist type 3speed shifter so I can put on cool grips without butchering them. This one has me hooked on Shimano's Nexus hubs. :mrgreen:
Next bike, is my 2008 Schwinn Point Beach 7 speed cruiser. Suprisingly trouble free for a WalMart bike, but I did upgrade the stock freewheel rim to a cassette rear rim, for better performance and a wider range (11-28 verses o.e. 14-28). In 7th gear, I can keep up with traffic just about. Just put on the new seat and pedals, to go with the Schwinn valvecaps.
They may be "new" cruisers, and I usually don't like the way new bikes ride or feel. Don't worry, I still have my 60' AMF Skyrider, 61' JCH deluxe and 62' Schwinn Heavy Duti American in my stable, and yes... I do ride them too.
