This really made Schwinn what it was through the 70s bike boom. Great history, its cool to be picking these Garner Cyclery bikes up locally and sending them back on the road. Ive had a number of them come through my stand and its always cool to know where they came from.

Nice score Sarmis!

I don't remember things going exactly like that, especially the royalty deal, but the name California Cruiser was trademarked by Larry and his dad, Don.
So, Schwinn was forced to cease and desist from using that name on their bicycles.

I guess no retro visitation of the 'California cruiser' would be complete without an example:
