Installing a large, chrome Bermuda bell was one way to alert other riders that I was near. A blinking rear light for the seat post was my requirement, even if it looked out-of-place. This year Schwinn offers a wide choice of Cruiser speeds,
sizes and colors. You can enjoy cruising with or without a beach in your neighborhood. Schwinn’s simple laid back elegance is personified in the 1980 Ladies’ Cruiser. With the time-proven dependability of a coaster
brake, wide whitewall balloon tires, a comfortable saddle and wide handlebars.
It is also the only year that they offered this great color combo. I was working part-time in a Schwinn shop in North County, SD, CA The local Schwinn rep/salesman came by to do business. He was talking about doing the Roserita ride on this cool new Schwinn. Boasting about all the passing and smiling fun he had riding it, was interesting to hear.
The 24-inch Cruiser is ideal for the younger rider who appreciates the time-honored qualities of riding comfort. The durable Schwinn cantilever steel frame has been updated with tubular leading axle front fork and cushioned hand grips. It’s designed for comfortable riding with a padded saddle and wide whitewall tires that ride smooth over almost any terrain.
There are a few pieces I wanted for the bike that I never got around to buying. One is a working horn that fits inside the tank, and operates from the chrome button on the side. The other, is a great looking tail light that is made to fit perfectly on the rear rack. It closely matches the look of the original bike. Also, they had a front light for the fender.
Take in the quality filming and the tight edit and become immersed in the stories that the Cali is a Place team are so good at telling. If you want more I highly recommend the shorts, ‘Borderland’ and ‘El Ray’, to name just 2 of the fantastic stories to see in their collection. The Schwinn SS is a cruiser bike with a steel and aluminum Schwinn frame. The frame comes in colors like red, blue and black. Originally released in 1996, there are 13 versions of this bike.
These items are still available with a search of the net. Company policy stated that it must schwinn tricycle be assembled by the shop personnel. On Christmas day, I put it by the tree with a ribbon.
Shifting through the gears was very Ferrari like. One gear is just not enough for anything but level riding. I decided to keep the bike in all stock form for appearance sake.
