Bike and Fork questions

Hello, Im new to this forum but it doesn't seem to be letting me use links in my thread yet haha. But I was wondering what spring forks fit a schwinn frame. I plan to use a 26" mens point beach cruiser. Thanks!

after more research I have found that no springers fit the newer schwinn frames, and also that new springers tend to be junk. So I guess that means Im on the hunt for a telescopic fork!

Once you identify the type and size of your headset, you can find a vintage style fork.

If your headset it 1" threaded, most springers (cantilever style) should fit.

If your headset is 1-1/8" threadless, you can use one of the Monarch style springers from EBay (check with the seller). You could also use a dual crown fork like a Roxshox boxer or Marzocchi shiver.

If you have a 1" threadless headset, you can use a Girvin fork.

Search on the above forks on EBay to see what they look like.

I think most springers should fit your frame!
I know for a fact that they will fit on the new jaguars.

agreed...new Jags are easy to convert to a springer
