1982 Schwinn Cruiser with tubular forks

[GTs58]

Right, but what thee is saying is he has 80 and newer cruisers with the rolled fender brace. Did they make 80 and up cruiser frames with the fender brace or is it possible they are middleweight typhoon or HD frames.

I have never seen a 1980 or 81 Cruiser with the rolled bridge. Later models yes, after the Schmurray era.

I put a springer on this one. Those tube forks just don't cut it.

Really like the color combination between the fenders and the frame. Yes I know this is about the fork, but it's sorta mesmerizing to me.

Some of the very early 1980 models had the old style middleweight frames. This can be seen in the 1980 catalog pic for the Deluxe Cruiser.

Regular old chain guards don’t cut it either

@Thee
This whole dating by brake bridges is making my head spin.

No offense but, your frame, guard and fork look to be repainted. Also no chrome fork crown.

Wow, my 5 year old reacts better to the truth. I have 2 original chrome Schwinn springers for sale and was going to offer one to you for $ and your fork. But seeing how lame everyone is I guess they go back on the shelf for when I build my cruiser. Good Luck

I’m pretty lame Can I qualify for one of those springers? I have some pretty terrible tube forks to offer as a partial trade, & two frames to build both ‘81’s with the flat brake bridge
