Wanted to Buy 1970's -1983 Schwinn 20 Inch and 24 Inch Cruiser Bikes and Parts

[Jeff54]

I don't normally mess with stuff this late but a quick review of the catalogs from these years doesn't show any models such as you describe. Do you have pictures? V/r Shawn

To set the record straight, they're quite rare, here's my stock, except the seat, May 81 build date on 80 frame; balloon, double track S-2, W/heavy duty spokes, 24 incher W/ Stingray Jr. handlebar, as issued (or optioned) .

I.E. yeah, Schwinn made The "Schwinn Down Cruiser" or 'Squirt' 20 and 24 inch versions of the cruisers too.
Inside the 1980 catalog:

I have this same bicycle, completely original , my very first bicycle . Its a 1982 . One year only , yes.. but not 1980. Mine is also Chestnut Brown , and my childhood friend has his still too that was Black . Both ours have chrome Schwinn hubs not black , both ours have Dual springs under the seat and both have Scrambler styled BMX handlebars . So obviously they varied some leaving the factory . They were both purchased from Thumms bicycle shop in Warren Ohio. Im looking for new repo Whitewall Tires. As soon as I carry it down out of upstairs of my parents garage, Ill post pics so you can see the slight differences.

Mine, above, 24" Black is an 81 on an 80 frame. U know an 81 with 80 frame serial number because the fork has the 'surfboard' ornament. Other than the softy 90's BMX type seat, it's original. The handle bar may appear larger but it's the sink-ray junior type, that a few also came with.
