bicycle type: cruiser
frame size: Average 18"
wheel size: 26 in
bicycle frame material: steel
Remaining collection must go to good homes. Prices lowered below what I paid. These are fun machines and historical artifacts for investments. They all ride well with lubrication, (stored dry with low pressure for long-term dust-free preservation.) No two are alike. They have already lasted longer than some people.

I can't show all the bikes to everyone who wants to see them. Will show by appointment if you are serious, i.e. interested in a specific one, and ready to buy.

Picture #1. Red. Firestrong Beach Cruiser. Fast bike with reliable single-speed. High bars. Coaster brakes. White-wall balloon tires. Comfy seat. As good as it gets. $99. It's not sold by Walmart so it will last for years with daily use.

SOLD. Picure #2. 1951 Gambles Hiawatha by Cleveland Welding Co. Sold by Gambles Hardware from 1930 - 1970. The Hiawatha Arrow built by Shelby is most sought after by serious collectors. Priced under collectcors' price. $225.

Picture #3
a. White 50's Evans Interceptor 100. Made in Plymouth Michigan, the American industrial center. Truly a correct example in historic artifact. 24" Balloon tires for smaller ladies. Coaster brake. Note the original Classy Two-tone paint scheme with Red pin-stripes. This is post Art Deco decorative workmanship. Fenders are uniquely "square." Wheels are also Painted White with Black pin-stripes. Vintage Patina. Not an average Schwinn. Not Mint but rides nice. Lubricated with new chain and 24" rear tire. $225.

b. Red. 80's Schwinn Phantom factory reproduction. 50's Phantoms go for Thousands on Ebay. All the classic amenities: Tank. Springer fork. Black leather seat. Bar light. Bell. Logo chain guard. Chrome fenders. Luggage rack. Generator. Original leather seat from '51 Black Phantom. Nice riding vintage Schwinn Cruiser with all the right parts. I've been asked more than once to sell some parts. $450.

SOLD. 3. Blue. Limited Edition Blue Deluxe Schwinn Cruiser in the tradition of the collectible Black Phantom. I've only seen one in my life. $450.

Picture #4
a. 50's J. C. Higgins. Blue. Small ladies 24". Excellent original. Utility front basket. A class up from the standard Schwinn. New white script balloon tires with coaster brakes. Period painted White wheels with Red pin-stripes, "no rust." Note white rubber mud flaps on both fenders as a working bike, yet quite unblemished all these years without a scratch. Enjoy bragging rights compared to a Schwinn! This bike has been well taken care of. $225.

b. SOLD. Schwinn 12-speed World Sports. Unisex frame. This is a Fast bike with racing tires, i.e. not a hybrid or for off-road use. If you have to ride over 2 miles or longer distance on paved road, this would be a good choice. Nice original condition with quality components. $195.

Picture #5 & 6. '63 & '64 Honda CT-90's. Voted the #1 bike of the century. Both complete and good running good. Simple and reliable. Collectors bike you can ride. Red one registered for street. Yellow one has a trail sproket. $1850 each, or offer for both.
