Let’s see some late 70’s/early 80’s Cruisers and Spitfires

It got a bit late so my pictures are dark but here is my 1980 Spicy Chestnut Cruiser celebrating its 42nd birthday today. Wanted to take a picture with some other 42 year olds so I obliged.

The deluxe has been featured on this thread before. Thanks to cabe member @hm I am the new caretaker.

YES, the early 80's model Cruisers came with the older middleweight frames as used on the Spitfires in the previous years. These were probably the bikes built in late 79 for the Christmas season. There is even a picture of that frame in the 1980 catalog.

I’ve been looking for a red Spitfire (I looked at quite a few before acquiring this one-an Oct ‘79 build date) to complete having all four original paint stock colors of Spitfires/Cruisers.
Had the four out for some bike shed organizing yesterday so took a couple of pics.
2 ‘79 Spitfires, ‘80 Cruiser, ‘81 Cruiser 5.
