Bicycle: vintage Schwinn cruisers

[jon r]

1961 Schwinn Jaguar, $350.

Cosmetically fair condition, but it’s a solid daily driver:

New Kenda tires and tubes, new Seam chain, F/R hubs, bottom bracket, and headset just rebuilt with new bearings and fresh grease.

Chrome fenders and original pedals (not pictured) are included.

Trades considered. Thx for looking

Has it ever been tracked or stunted?

 

[jon r]

Ha - no, only ridden to church by a little old lady on Sundays

 

[ST Guy]

Must have been a little old lady with really long legs.

Is it a fixie or does it have the coaster brake?

Are high pressure tires, like slicks, available for those sizes?

No, not really - 35 PSI seems about right. This is a “cruise around the neighborhood” bike

I removed the knobbies from my mountain bike and installed high pressure slicks. I run them at 110 psi and they are great for urban use. It’s my Bike Party bike.

Bike Party? Cool. I’ve done the SJ one back in like 2010 or 11.

My cruiser has max psi like 60.

Me and my best friend used to ride San Jose Bike Party frequently. We were life long, hard core riders. One of the things we did for fun was when all the riders bunched up at a light, when the light turned green, we would sprint past all the riders and leave the pack in the dust. It was funny because we were long haired, white bearded old geezers wearing reflective vests and the pack was made up, primarily, of young guys that thought they were fast.
