Is this over the top?

It's got to be the nostalgia factor.

That and they are a lot easier to ride than the single speed cruisers.

I think the folks buying these at these prices have to be non-bike people. :wink:

Thats the only bike my wife loves to ride....I need to get one of hers done pronto !!!

maybe I should turn this back into the Cruiser 5 that its supposed to be!!!

 

[CCR]

naaa... they both look better now :mrgreen:

 

[Markm]

yep!!

I suppose it's because they were the last of the Chicago-built Schwinns. But I never could quite believe the prices they bring! That they're selling for more than original 60's Jags, Vettes, and Typhoons just makes my head spin.. ~Adam

youd be surprised what some are willing to pay for a "complete" bike. wheels, tires, fenders dont show up on those too often for some reason :mrgreen:

but yeah it seems a bit much to me too for a LITTLE kids bike.

Ouch ! just goes to show how much crazy money there is out there.

 

[Rat Rod]

WOW! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I am getting afraid to ride mine.....or where I park it !

all i have to say iw WHY the cruiser 5's, theyre great bikes but why wouldnt and older bike with a 5 speed positron set-up and hand brakes be worth the same :lol:

why are they so desirable ?
