24 inchers

The 24's are in my favorites group. I have 3 and 1/2 different years and models. My best rider; the 24" Down Cruiser is virtually an adult sized stink rat for cruising the hood and or 1980's rock hopping on it's heavy-duty set up..

Whoa! That's quite a drive train! And a cool frame. What does the rod with the knob actuate?

Thank you. They called it a "gear shift" lever. It used cables to raise/lower the pedal sleeves (#4) on the drive levers (#5).
Mine is missing the cables, so the pedals are in the lowest setting.

I have a couple videos of it on youtube. One shows the drivetrain in action, and the other is me riding it.

I really like the 24" Schwinn Down Cruiser's, they are Hard to Find, I have a few. Here's a 1980 24" Schwinn Down Cruiser that is mocked-up as a 24" Schwinn Super Deluxe Sting-ray. 36 hole S-2 rear wheel, 28 spoke S-7 front wheel, 24" Krate springer, 24" chrome deluxe chain guard. AWESOME Ride !

Cousin Koolbikes:
Very awesome indeed! I had not heard of the "Down Cruiser," but I found a catalog cut from 1980. It's a riff on "scaled-down Cruiser." One question: How come you carry your beer in a 7-up cooler? Have fun!
