Chech out this Schwinn cruiser I picked up. 26" gold UKAI's, gold V-bars, gold dia-comp brakes. seems this thing had some bmx influence. also set up as a 10 speed, interesting... anyone know about this sort of thing? did they come like this? [/url][/img]

just realized I spelled "swap" wrong. I am an idiot.lol
obviously I have cleaned it up a bit and replaced all cables. this thing rides sweet I really like it. the brakes stop on a dime with kool stop pads and linear brake cables, it could probably do an endo!

What year is it? I wonder if it was made before or after my Sidewinder, which was an 82.

serial number - the first letter is the month following number would be the year
cool find - give it too you girlie - most of'em just wanna be comfie, so if you want her to share in your riding habit, its a good way to get them interested - building them cruisers with not so cushy seats can easily put them off and lose interest quick
that stem just looks like and overseas cheapie slant - but I'm sure it serves its purpose well on a beater
that looks late 70's early 80'sish - by the color
