Hello,
I'm new to bike building, my wife actually is the blame for this now new obsession. She wanted a cool cruiser so she could go ride with her girl friends on a local once a month bar hoppin' booze cruze. So I bought her a 1995 100th anniversary Schwinn Classic Cruiser with the Springer Fork, It's Black frame with red accent decals & chrome fenders, handle bars and forks. She wants a complete re-spray on the frame in HotRod Flatz Black and she likes the Electra Leopard print seat, seat bag & grips, she already put (Stolen off my bike) an Electra bell on it. LoL! Which brings me to mine.... my 2nd craigslist bike purchase (a Lemon) Huffy Cranbrook. It was supose to be brand new never ridden yada yada, which turned out to be a big POS! I think this dude rode it once jumped it off a cliff & then put it on craigslist. The rims are bent & has rear hub noise other than that its perfect...LOL... I really like the colors its the royal blue & off white fender.... so far all I have done is peel all stickers off & flip handle bars up... Next gonna try to find another bike for a wheel set, remove fenders, get a springer fork.... i like the look of the 29er front wheel & 26" rear, nana seat and ape hangers. Will a 29er front will fit a 26" front fork? I will add some pic's here in a bit.
The wifes, way it looked the day I picked it up... I need to take some more pictures now that shes all polished & cleaned up with new Schwinn seat & new inner tubes & pulled off foam padding off handle bars.
