Shop Cruiser!
sweeetY2K 22" Frame Schwinn Cruiser Supreme, purchased new at Board and Buckle in Grand Junction, CO the same year. Used as a commuter with chrome fenders and a rack for about 15 years. It was torn down for a few years ago and lives again, slowly morphing into a duzitall bike. I've had it at the paved pump track a few times, as well as getting vertical with it at Sandstone Ranch Skatepark. Those Typhoon brick tires are not good for anything but cruising, so that'll change before taking it somewhere specifically to get crazy on.

One day rebuild. I cracked the head tube on this bike. All 4130 but oh well, the twin down tube was whippy as a wet noodle and it noodled itself to death. Shameful uber ride home in a Prius, was miles away from home when it broke. It has been sitting for about 6 months or so, I had some time today to get it back on the road. Used a ratchet strap to "realign" the frame. Welded it back together and made a head tube gusset as well as a coaster brake tab. Used my custom frame alignment tool to get it striaght, it was crooked as a politician before it broke but still rode really well, this time I could make it fly true. Ano in a can paint job, washed some of the grease and dirt off the wheels in the kitchen sink and it's back on View attachment 158803View attachment 158804View attachment 158805View attachment 158806View attachment 158807View attachment 158808View attachment 158809View attachment 158810View attachment 158811View attachment 158812the road.

It's a fun bike. Easy to jump, curb hop, wheelie, and throw around. Much easier than a 29er. Very nimble!An OM Flyer is definitely in my 'want' category!
