Cool ride, Mark! Almost 25 yrs ago I worked near the GT/Dyno plant on Dyer in SA. Sometimes, workers would ride a bike from there to Del Taco. Ride on!

Yes! Still discussing with Sweetie if it's orange or red....

I worked in S.A. when they were on Susan, and remember always slowing down to look when driving by.

The wheelbase is 48"
Standard bikes are 44" all around this one.
These bikes ride really nice, so this one is mostly for leaving in the house to Admire....

I bought a new 1988 IROC Z after I rolled my 84 Z-28 H.O. and the color was the one year only Medium Orange Metallic. In certain lighting it appeared to be a red but in the sunlight it was definitely Orange.

I was wondering if you would actually keep a bike just to look at it! Does a 4 inch longer wheelbase make that much difference?

The "roominess" is nice.
For me, the OC, SA, origins is the coolest part;
Super-Cool Cruisers, designed around the Famous "cantilever" frame, patented by Schwinn of the Old Days.
BUT, not made here in USA, killed it for me.
It should sell pretty easy here in OC, at the start of Beach riding season for A Lot of people.
