Man, if that's not a real one, wow, nice job! I can only see some minor differences and thought it was just model yr thing. 2009 / 09 Schwinn Classic Seven Deluxe Beach Cruiser Comfort Bike

Really, beautiful MB. I tried for that look with a wallyworld Point Beach but am saving my pennys (read useing pell grant, snork) for the Deluxe 7 or Columbia reproduction

Wanted to do a felt Heritage but 4 smoker won't fit. Although Dax's 2 strokes went way down in price and installed one with a buddy a few weeks back and they are awesome.

LOL, I need a larger grant(s)

Welcome to the forum, Rod. Before you post pix of your new bike, give us some more of this one. I see so many things I'd like to see from different angles. Those hand grips for example. Hand sewn?
Great looking Schwinn. What year is it?

That Columbia is sick . Iwant one!
My cruiser is from 2000,Schwinn deluxe 7, I Changed it up to look like a phantom from the 1950's, those cost around 1-4k too much $$ for me.
What kinda engine is on you're cruiser? looks clean

Tom
Yea the right grip was hand sewn to cover the throttle, This is my only bike, so will post some more pictures later

Nice looking ride! where did you find the springer fork? I really want to find one .
I am on a schwinn also but its a skyliner,the more modern shock fork works ok but I like the look of the springer better....its always a work in progress!! Good luck,Welcome!

Same PB bike but one pic is a BGF 80cc 2 stroke and top pic is her with a Honda/Grubee. Is my first 4 smoker and have to say it really makes for a great MB.

Is the phantom tank real or is your tank rack mounted? Really great looking Bike. I found a local dealer who will get me a Deluxe 7 (2009) for $600. Wohoo! Now all's I need is $600, snork.
