1979 Schwinn Cruiser value please

[kreika]

My landlords have this EQ serial code Schwinn Cruiser 5 which I believe makes it a May 1979. They’re in their mid 70’s and not gonna ride it. Pumped up the tires and oiled the chain. Rode pretty good. Fork are slightly bent. Pulls to the right with no hands riding. How much do these go for? Thank you for any help!

In that condition, $50 - $75 bucks and it is actually a 79 Sprifire 5

$900 for a Sting Ray in that condition.

Around here I could see that selling for $150 - $200

Yup, it's Spitfire 5. Mine is only 6 bikes away, badge 2409. If you can get the chainguard, value be better.

Thanks all!

You have a lot of work ahead of you if you acquire the bike in that condition, so you must get it for the right price!

Hey thanks! I’m not afraid of work. Always thought a drum brake brought over a fifty spot. These late model schwangs ain’t my thang though…..

Condition is everything, even with parts. Personally I hate to see these bikes parted out! But to each his own!
