Schwinn 26" BMX Build

heyslugger · Nov 11, 2012

I put this in the fresh finds but I thought I would start a thread here as I build it up. Love to hear some feed back.

As I got it, SUUUPPPER clean Cruiser 5 with Schwinn BMX forks and stem. All for the sweet low price of 60 bucks! I have added a NOS pad set, a Sugino crank, NOS 87 Predator bars, Ame Grips Dia Compe Brake. Switching out those pedals that are on there, the blue black ones I will be putting on blue KKT Lightening pedals tomorrow. CMC BMX rims but kinda on the look out for some blue ano rims. AND looking for some schwinn GUM WALLS...anyone?

Nice looking 26 BMX transformation. Doing the same thing to mine bit I'm working on a 51 Schwinn straight bar.. I'll post a pic of it later when I'm on the computer..
Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more on your bmx cruiser..
