Welcome...cool bike!

 

[ByronNorton]

Thank you! I got it back in 1983,for $20. Still had a banged fender,3 speed,and hand brakes. Put a coaster brake on her and went off to the "Cruiser Races",that we had around here,in the early 80's. Just put the Nexus 3 speed on,along with newspaper basket...................Getting a Worksman cycle truck this week,so the basket comes off the Schwinn & the speed goes up!

Welcome! Cool bike! What were the cruiser races?

 

[ByronNorton]

We had Cruiser races,which the only rule was fat tire single speed bicycles,so we could do anything we wanted to the other racers. Let the air out,loosen a wheel nut,lock it up,we would get the females to surround the guy in lead,at his pit stop,while someone did something to the bike. There was the Black Label 500,Tin-man,etc,prizes were a case of Black Label,pigs feet,hair goo,etc,we had fun!

Looks like a job for the mods, it kept throwing code in when I tried to explain what I thought was happening. :?
