A friend of mine recently gave me an old junk bike he had sitting in his backyard. After looking at these forums it turns out its a 1980 Schwinn Cruiser 5. Head badge # 2770

I have all the original parts for it except for the original chain guard and fork. The bike doesn't have much collector value anymore since some nefarious previous owner took the serial number off. I'm working on painting it and I'll post pictures as soon as its done.

Can’t have too many Klunker 5s. Thanks John for letting me add this to my collection. Really cool that you would rather it go to me than to someone trying to make a buck. It cleaned up really nice. Another 100% original right down to the tires and

Here’s one I picked up today. It needs a detailing but i think it’s pretty cool. KP serial # , 0799 on the badge. I’m thinking this might have been a “klunker 5 “ that the owner had put a 2 speed up front with positron shifter, added fenders, springer, rack, and sturmey archer drum hub. I really like it but I bought on impulse and might have paid more than I really wanted too.

The 79's were Spitfires. Interesting build, something I've been thinking about doing for years.
