fudge all you little bitches talking poop. Truth is you only talk ur poop online because you don't have the balls to say it face to face. I'm not going to waste my time with you lames
Thats a nice bike dont get me wrong but imo it would look better with a springer but it looks like you cant put one on. Still a very nice bike, its just whenever i think of a nice schwinn. In my mind they always have a springer
Had a run of bad luck today and blew engine on my Civic. Since I could use the money right about now. Im willing to part out this Red 1981 Schwinn Cruiser 5 project. Nicest part of this bike is wheel set. Prices don't include shipping.
*Unstamped S2 5 Speed Wheel set with kenda tires and tubes...
1981 Schwinn Cruiser 5 Project. Missing hand brakes and Gear Shifter with cable. Aftermarket springer, priced to move. Cash App or zelle. $275 +++ SHIPPING
Im 100% with you guys on the serial number not being the built date. Just look at the Cruisers of the late 70s and early 80s. I have an LS serial number cruiser that would put it at November 1981 but badge says it was built 251st day of 1982. I was just curious if there where any t
TYPHOON...
Quick question, since the November frames are usually built as next years model. Did they ever produce a straight bar Typhoon with a L1 or M1 serial number with a built in kickstand?
Schwinn Cruiser 5 stamped LS. Badge which i believe original is stamped as 251st day of 1982. Top bar has paint loss. Handle bars have surface rust that will clean up but bars are free of road rash and chrome loss. Chain ring also pretty nice alo g with cranks. Pedals are original but have...
Wait i might be wrong but i thought Tornado's didnt have the continuous double straight bars. Wouldnt that make this a 62 Typhoon perhaps with missing or removed kickstand
Or if u want a rusty crusty bike like in picture look for someone to trade with on here. You wont have to fake the crusty look and save some cash on the repaint.
In my personal opinion if a bikes paint is not an 8 or better I would rather repaint it so it looks nice. Remember though a repaint no matter how nice it is will decrease value. Now forget about the monetary value, there as so many guys on this forum who would kill for nice original paint. The...
I dont remember where i had heard the cruiser wasnt as wide as a 1950s balloon bike, but thanks you for setting me straight. Im not too familiar with balloon bikes but did they make a balloon bike with rear bridge like the one on cruiser frame? Is the rear bridge on HD and cruiser the same...
Just curious as to value of this old balloon frame. O
wner says it was a 1955 Panther. It doesn't have a welded on kickstand. Can someone help me out determining value
Thanks guys, I love learning more and more about stingrays. I was always under the impression that when the stingray swapped over to long frame the smaller frame got rebadged as a junior with diffrent parts. This is what cool about this forum, you have great people willing to teach you something...
I believe the juniors were made after the stingray switched over to the longer frame in April Or May of 1965. It being a March of 1965 wouldn't it make this one of the early short stingrays
Agreed 👍 I'm getting to the point that I will start sending these would be sellers to the cabe so they can actually learn what they have and what it's worth. You should see some of the prices on Stingrays.
I wasn't joking. If it wasnt for the high shipping rates right now, I swear at those prices, it makes me wanna start taking bikes on consignment from everyone at the cabe for resell in California.
This one is not a Cruiser 5 but it does have a Krazie Kali price also

It's according to the seller a "1959 corvette 5 speed" its funny how ppl in Cali put these krazie ass prices but don't even know what they have.

Here's that krazie 1,500 dollar Cruiser 5 listing. It's 5yrs old. I'm willing to bet owner still has it at that price.
I don't think he sold em either, I see him constantly "selling" Cruiser 5 on offerup. I think he was hoping to find someone with more money than brains.
In what way are early 80s forks different? Really curious now that you tell me the Cruiser 5 is not a middleweight or heavyweight. So the Cruiser 5 is wider at the brake mount than a ballon bike? Or is it only wider at the rear axle mount/rear drop outs?
Very nice bikes, I use to hate bikes with with clutter (brake levers, brake calipers, cables) Two years ago I ended up with a Town and Country and a 1969 Typhoon Deluxe 3 Speed for 75 bucks. I have since fallen in love with these 3 Speed Typhoons so much so that I bought another 3 Speed Typhoon...
Oh I see, those are great selling points for Cruiser 5. Wish they had used a Sturmey Archer 5 speed IGH instead of derailleur though. Makes bike look so much cleaner. I just have a follow up question, where the Cruiser 5 a real ballon bike frame? If you compared them side by side to a Phantom or...
Idk since we're out in California if those prices would be correct. Or if they are completely krazie even for Cali. To be honest I never understood why the cruiser 5 and spitfires commanded more money than any middleweight from the 70s I would of thought they'd be worth less since they are newer

Was checking offer up, when I came across this. I don't know if his prices are spot on but he has 6 really nice Cruiser 5 with what looks like OG paint. They have some twisted lowrider crap parts like twisted fender braces but...
