I live for the CABE
Just finished detailing this 1984 Cruiser 5 up. One of the nicest condition bikes that I have.

1982 was T so your bike would probably be a 1984 model. Does it look like Bob's, picture above?

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Hey Gary (and everybody else), what's your evaluation/opinion on this, which I believe was a very well done dealer creation?
80s schwinn cruiser 5 bike female version ; more rare than male way
I'm particularly intrigued by the caliper brake installation as well as the stem shifter on the springer fork, both things I've thought about doing.

Pretty decent job creating the woman's version, but there are a few indications it was done by an individual. Cable clips and zip ties for the rear brake cable needs some attention and the shifter cable would be better if it wasn't running thru the springer. I'm thinking a dealer would have used the Shimano cable clamps for the rear brake cable. The guard marking looks fresher (whiter) than the other decals and the guard paint is pretty wavy looking like a repaint and clear coat. The springer might be original to the bike and it has the S bolts. Overall a pretty decent job but it's not worth the sellers asking price IMO. I'm also familiar with that seller, I picked up a 1963 Corvette 3 speed project bike from him years ago.

I would appreciate some help...
My mom has my dad's Schwinn Klunker 5 that she wants to sell. He bought it new from the Schwinn dealer in the late 70's. It is blue and is all original (I believe that the tires are original as well.). The dealer put a big metal basket on the front but nothing else was done. I've seen values all over the place, so don't know what is realistic. I need to help her get the most she can for it.
I know pictures will help, so if you tell me what pix you'd like, I'll take them and post them as well as any info you need off of the bike. Thanks in advance for your help!

Put the bike on E-Bay and you will get what its worth. What we tell you is just speculation and not a real sale. Condition is everthing and without pictures who knows. Roger
