I live for the CABE
If She has not been riding , in a while , She probably wants it to be EASY to handle AND pedal . Maybe that's her interpretation of the "Wal Mart Bike " . A Classic Middleweight might not be a bad choice ( A Schwinn maybe ) although there are many other brands . A "Balloon" Tire bike may be too much for her. AND It should be a girl's bike ................Women are just , well , set up different than we are . There's such a great variety out there . This is what my girl rides. Sorry for the Crappy picture. It's a 1957 Schwinn Hornet 26" Bike . Purchased as is for $75.00 at a local shop. It's a middleweight ..............and Cool as Chit !!! Second picture shows her "New" Seat . Have Fun with your search !

There are lots of very nice vintage step thru bikes being sold here and on other sites, and I suggest you get her to give you an idea of what she likes and dislikes. If she doesn't like something you picked out, she won't ride it.

They're being really nice and not pointing you to the For Sale section...we're like Arby's, we have the 'meats'.
Go look at stuff and ask us questions. That's what we're for. And welcome to another member from the Pacific Northwest!
Middle Earth is 50 miles down the freeway from Boise in Malheur County, Oregon.

My girlfriend is looking for a "Beach Cruiser" type bike. She wants me to buy her a WalMart special probably made in China----

Nothing says West Coast 60's beach cruiser more than a 60's Schwinn Hollywood to compliment your Typhoon. Especially for only a buck an half, just add in 3,000+ miles to you or?
Schwinn must have built a billion of em, prob plenty in your local C/L.

A Schwinn Hollywood is an excellent choice IMO. They are well made and ride nice and it would compliment your nice red Typhoon! There are variants to the Hollywood that use the same frame. American, Catalina, Debutant to name a few, but the Hollywoods are common, usually reasonably priced and are easy riders. The balloners are very cool too, and if its been serviced and has good tires on it aren't bad to ride.
The above suggestions are all good ones, just find one that she will ride.

Sometimes one might find a late 1990’s to early 2000’s G.T. Dyno beach cruiser from Taiwan. They have a beach cruiser look to them. I would rather recommend a Shimano 3-speed internal gear rear hub/ wheel, and maybe add a caliper brake.

I agree with this 100%. In my opinion, there is nothing more frustrating when gears change when you don't want them to and never knowing what gear you're in after doing some light braking or getting on the bike. Those are almost as user friendly as a Semi truck driving down New York City streets. Bendix 2-speed manual or a modern geared hub.
