I pulled my grandpa's old Schwinn Deluxe Cruiser out of the barn where it sat for at least the last ten years and spruced it up last weekend. My grandpa bought it new but I do not know what vintage it is. I am assuming that it is not very old based on the pedals and reflectors but if anyone knows about what year it is I would appreciate any info on it.
After about a half hour of scrubbing with a SOS pad and a quick wash, the bike cleaned up pretty well! The tires are shot but I picked up a new set today and I will update with more pictures once they are mounted. I also mounted the headlight I had for it and I am currently looking for a taillight that I like. I will run the wiring and mount the generator for the lights as soon as I get a taillight. Other than that I plan on keeping the bike clean and simple and to start cruisin!
