Hey Lonestar, How are you likin’ your SE big honkin bars? Love mine on my Klunker!

Bai, Just wishing you luck on your rusty “gold” project! Perfect shirt to “pick”this new bike up in.

Looks like a worthy project to put some time in on. Care to share your technique for overspray removal?

Should be on their site.

Nice grips. Not channel locks marks, those are from someone having the brake levers right up against the grips. Went they pull the lever it digs into the grip. Not a problem though, those grips are practically indestructible.

So want one of those racks but can’t do it right now...Dang! GLWS.

I know Koolstop make pad replacements for those brakes. Those will stop you worth a dang!

Nice bike regardless and a great start to a worthwhile project! Hope you continue with it and bring back the finished machine to the CABE!

Really nice job on the Schwinn, great choice for a beer! I would love to have a short tutorial on recovering a pan seat with leather.

I’m interested in the Spyder bar and grips. What would you let them go for? Thanks!

This Klunker build would look all business with an Akisu BMX fork! But I understand the use whatcha got approach. Looking forward to more progress!

Rear reflector on the fender and you’re done! Great looking machine.

They look to be all original! Nice purchase.

Glad you and your machine are okay!

End cap design is a Raleigh mark. It’s of the man standing, not the heron symbol.

Switch your current fork for one with the proper set up for a front brake. Keep the original and put back on when you show the machine.

If you put an ad in the want section you will get more eyes on it.

Being in the UK, they probably thought that Spitfire will never fly again! That’s a great project bike you have!

It’s even worse then that! Whole bikes are still good but it’s one part that is obsolete after just one year. You then must buy a( new wheel just to get the upgraded axle ) example.

Can’t believe I’ve never read this book.

That’s a sweet part!

Sent a PM.

Nice looking! What fork and rims are you using ?

Certainly aren’t the original wheels.

Do you mean an original or one of the 1995 reproduction models?

Sent a PM.

A little guidance here for a newbie, is this the thread for an 88 Schwinn cruiser Supreme if it’s a 5 speed model? Or should I start another thread for these as I know they went from 5 speed on up as the years progressed? I just picked it up and am bringing it back to the road. Thanks...

Depending on your fit, you might need to find a shorter reach stem. Hopefully it, the insert on those are of a smaller diameter.

Hello, How much would shipping be to 28540 zip?

Not a king size, just an American. Sorry for the confusion!

Why in a hurry to lose the fenders? Very awesome machine you have there! Mines a parts missing paint ratty frame 63 klunker.

Good luck on your hunt! I have fond memories of great adventures and mishaps on mine. My steed had a red frame and chrome fenders.

Hey, Do you still have the #5 black MW fork for sale? Thanks, SchwinnFinn

Looks to be all original! Love the black and creme paint job with the red pin striping too.

Hello Hastings! New to the site but not to Schwinn bikes. Do not know yet how to send PM about purchasing these fenders. Eager for a reply! Regards, Law

Looks like a cool cruiser! How much does the set back seatpost help you with the fit?

Bam! Bottom cage retainer is wrong on my set up. Thanks all! I’m going to like it here!

If anything doesn’t get done to this project at least there’s a lot of good parts to use on other builds.

Done and done! Still winds up with play or too tight. Toothed washer employed between lock cap and adjusting piece as well. Just have to keep at it... and double check the crown race on the newer fork. On the hunt for a donor bike for bits and a fork.

Thanks much everyone! Now I know what to look/ ask for. My frame came without a fork so have to use an 80’s Schwinn cruiser unit. There’s a problem getting the HS to stay locked down while moving freely. Thought it might be the bearing cages or the fork crown race. Today was the first test ride.

I would like to know what seat post you used!

What size bearings do the Deluxe HS take? I have one on my 63 lightweight but not the bearings.

Swell line up! I see you have another 3 speed frame hanging around in the garage too.
