I hate it when those kind of deals jump in front of me

Found this frame and fork on the side of the road. Gave it some paint and slapped on parts I had on hand.

Sold it and used the money to get this-

‘87 Schwinn. I know they’re giant made, but I’ve been looking for a pink one for a bit now. All original except the seat

You are on FIRE!

Free Spirit Elite Classic. Co-worker dragged to me out of a free pile. Can’t beat the price. Dig cruiser bars with a 22.2 clamp, so, stoked on that. Also, looks as if the frame will clear a 24x3 rear wheel I’ve been holding onto.

Found this diamondback sand streak for cheap. I just listed my blue frame set for sale, but for the price I had to get this one. A lot of unoriginal stuff going on here, but the American to square taper bb made the buy worthwhile. 90s double walled arayas are pretty cool too.

Oh, and I found the Sugino crown stem in the same sellers parts bin, so got that too.

Edit- here’s a pic after a quick rebuild..

Awesome color too!

Awesome color too!

Thank man. It used to be red. I really like the fade. It’s almost a coppertone. I rebuilt it yesterday with those bars I got from you that came off the sand steak you parted. They found their way to another one!

Mystery frame set. Frame is damaged on the drive side chain stay right behind the bb. For the price I figure I got forks, headset, chain, seatpost clamp (with a Schwinn bolt), and kickstand.

Mid school haro fell in my lap.

And a very high on my list frame set. Schwinn heavy duti King Size. Needs some love but she’ll be a keeper. Been looking for a king size for a long time. Happy to have my first one. Big thank you too @irideiam !!

Copper middleweight with slimline tabs. Good thing I’ve got a tank for it

Knocked number 1 off my Schwinn list. One year only ‘62 double straight bar. Stoked!

Super cool frame!

Picked this up today. I never thought I’d own one. Extremely stoked.
1980 Laguna Cruiser. As found-

Anyone looking for one knows they can be elusive and costly. Speaking of which, keep an eye out for my selling threads. As I need to recoup

 

[RustyGold]

Very nice...great get!

Welcome to the Laguna club!

What was the story behind it?

Welcome to the Laguna club!

What was the story behind it?

Thank you. Happy to join!

I was talkin to a buddy about how I wanted to sell off a lot of my bikes I don't use or ride much anymore, and use the funds to hunt down a Laguna, S&S, Bassett, or something on that level. He said he knew of a Laguna complete that might be for sale. The next day I got pics and contact info. The same day, the seller listed in on CL, so I knew I had to act fast. The seller was a really cool guy and we worked out a good deal and pulled the trigger. The OG seat clamp and bars are what pushed it. Those clamps are ridiculous to find in the wild.
So, I did my plan in reverse order, but I'm stoked to finally have one.

I'm jealous of the king size Schwinn and the Coppertone and the 62 Twinbar. That twinbar frame also was used on the Skipper and the Flying Star in 61, earlier in 61 and in 60 it had separate bars from the seat stays. But was one year only on Typhoon in 62. Skipper and everything else was then cantilever.

Awesome LaGuna score!!! Congrats! So cool.

One of my favorite styled Schwinn frames! I have a '61 Flying star where the double bars are not continuous. If I remember correctly, the continuous double straight bars actually fist appeared in late '61 with a two tone paint job. Forget what they where badged as though. But Typhoons in red and black for the '62 year.
