Honestly, for me price would play a huge factor.
Anymore, those beach cruisers on Walmart's website are about the best deal going for a good cruising bike. Most of the multi speed cruisers that Walmart sells also have the same kind of compnents.......

I wouldn't buy it,
it's got a De-Railer set up.
which to me is VERY Ugly on a Vintage Style Bike.
That being said,
I bought a Brand New Schwinn with a Sturmey 3 Speed
at a Canadian Tire Store last year.
I test rode it in the Parking lot and Returned it 15 Minutes Later and got my Money back!!!
The Indexing on The New Sturmey 3 Speeds Coaster Hubs( to me ) was Cheap,sloppy,unresponsive,noisy.
if you can get The Bike you posted in The Picture above for
less than $50.00 then buy it.
The Bars and Fenders and front alloy wheel wiill come in handy
for a Rat Rod.
myself,
I wouldn't buy a New Bike....and I LOVE A GOOD VALUE.....
unless it was a GT,Felt,Nirve,ELECTRA,,etc.
just my 2 cents,
peace,
Kev.

First off, are you in Houston????? I'm about 70 miles north of Houston...so I figured that I'd ask :mrgreen:
Secondly, for that price, yeah, I'd say it's a good deal.....if you like it that's all that really matters :wink:
I've owned alot of "Bike shop" bikes...and also "department store" bikes..... quality can vary....but overall if properly maintained usually department store bikes CAN be nice. That being said there are always duds too
I like vintage. I would by it for 70 dollars yes.

70 really ain't that bad.
Those handlebars are WAY to far back.

YES!!! That's where my wife and I like to ride also.....soooo many sidewalks....and VERY scenic.
I'm hoping to be able to ride the 4th of July....hopefully earlier in the morning. Of course, I'm hoping like heck that I'll have my 20" Sears Spider bike built by then.
I've got a BUNCH of bikes.....probably 10 or so.......in various stages of build.....or waiting for restoration.
The main bike that I've recently worked on is my West Coast Choppers 20" ......I've got a post in the gallery section (it's on page 2 I believe) that shows the current progress.
My current build will be from the ground up....fresh paint, '69 frame, and fresh tires and parts......like a brand spankin' new bike.
Give me a call sometime and we'll get together sometime 8)
