Oh that cruiser carrier

[LocanStreet]

So I have been looking at this Typhoon on CL for awhile. At first I thought the carrier was ugly but as a few days pass I totally flip flopped and now I Love it. So after some bartering I brought it home today. Built 12/1980. So what do you guys think of the carrier? I've never seen one but Schwinn had them in the 81 catalog.View attachment 1410494

Im looking for one of these 01 621-624 carriers for my 81 cruiser 5. Now that I kmow they actually exist outside of the catalog, does anyone know what colors they came in?

Hard to say if there is/was any connection? But Schwinn also had similar racks for their lightweight touring bikes.

These racks are the Eclipse racks, made in japan for schwinn that came on the mid 80s touring bikes such as my voyageur sp.

Bought this "tube" Cruiser Carrier today on eBay, looks almost identical but the front bar has a crossbar, was there a difference between the coaster and 5 speed front attachment?

It looks similar to the real deal. Sandblast it, then powder coat it, and it will be a nice rack.

Received my Schwinn Cruiser Carrier today, all the mounting holes line-up with frame and the 5 speed brake bridge. 1/2" tubing on rectangular rack frame, 3/8" tubing on all the support braces. The og color appears to be gold anodized.
Definitely will be powder coated black to go on my OG Black '81 Schwinn Deluxe Cruiser.
