Schwinn Custom Cruiser

[B-Rad]

Here's my Schwinn Cruiser 5 that I stripped and converted to a coaster brake. It has 105g spokes. I picked it up for $50.

I plan to use it as a winter bike for riding downtown and to school. I might use my staple gun for some metal studs when it gets icy. These studded balloon tires work well in snow pack.

Sheet metal screws from inside the tire make great studs too! Run some duct tape inside the tire and use a Mr. Tuffy before you install the tube. "Self drilling" screws are hardened and last a LOT longer. Use a thorn proof tube and pump it up HARD. I used to live in Massachusetts...
