Another What Is It....

Picked this up at a local trade day. S/N located on left rear dropout starts with either a Y or V, looks more like a Y. Y5101222. Has old style handbrake assy's, mountain bike or BMX front forks. Rides great, won't complain about the $25 dollar cost. Another Heinz 57 mutt for the collection....Paul....

I believe it to be a Taiwan built Cruiser 5 or something of that sort
Even though it was built in Taiwan, they have some quality. I had a single speed cruiser built in 1995 in Taiwan it was a real fun ride, but I had to sell it to keep some other bikes, you cant keep them all, especially if you have a wife.

check the headbadge to see if it has a 4 digit number.example:2353=235th day of 1983.not an exact science,but can help narrow it down a bit.
