Got this off my buddy Mark today. All original 1980 white MR schwinn cruiser.

I never knew they existed until recently

Glad to get one in my little collection of riders.

A white MR serial numbered frame. That's pretty interesting! All considered, the frame was most likely built in 1981.

Very cool. I’ve always been a fan of white and this one caught my eye when I saw it.

Another MR put it on the list. I really like white bikes. Especially schwinns a little newer then others but really nice either way.

Anyone have an idea on how many original survivors are around? Seem to be few and far between.

Would love to build this one up, but those old school bmx parts are PRICEY

Not sure if you know or not, but these White Cruiser frames were only sold as frame sets. There were 8 colors available with a few that were not used on the production Cruisers. They came with decals, head badge and crank cups.
