Schwinn CRUISER 5

[user 135]

I snagged this off of CL this morning. I asked if it had a drum brake, the guy said yes. I went out to look, no drum but bought it anyway. I think it is a Foreign born Schwinn as the serial number is JU#### , the headbadge number is 0474. So I think a 1984. I keep running across red Schwinns, this is number 5.

I plan on selling to double my money. Gonna sell my 1979 Twinn Sport also. Gotta clean out the garage.

I rode it home from work today as my Xtracycle had a problem. Glad I had the lower gears for the 20mph head wind. :shock:
