Chopper 001 - Black - Medium
This Chopper is just in! Cruise along the beach in this new Chopper Beach Cruiser. This Chopper Beach Cruiser comes in a very nice black color with red decals. This bike is for anyone from between 5' to 6' feet tall. It has a rear fender and dual front and back hand brakes. It's a beauty but it can also bite. This beach cruiser unlike a regular beach cruiser is stretched longer and is lower to the ground, which can make riding more difficult. Also it is not that simple to put together. It involves a lot of tweaking here and there to get all the adjustments and everything just right. If your in the area come on down and buy it directly from us, right off the sales floor, otherwise just make sure you get it assembled by a professional.
Once you get this bike going it's a smooth ride that will make anyone jealous. So just cruise along down by the strand and watch the envious expressions of others as you pass them by. Be the talk of the beach with your new Chopper beach cruiser. Buy one today!This bicycle is brand new and sold in the box. Bicycle comes about 80% assembled. It takes about 20 minutes to assemble your brand new bicycle. You can assemble at home, we however recommend professional assembly. Visit your nearest bike shop and you can get your bike assembled at cost of $10-$25.

I buy almost all of my bikes from 3 different sites. Usually which ever one is cheaper or actually has it in stock. They are as follows.
Beach cruiser, tandem, fixed gear, mountain, BMX bikes
Beach Cruiser Bicycles, Fixie Fixed Gear Bikes, Stretch Cruisers, Tandems, Bicycle Superstore
2WheelBikes - Buy Factory Direct Bicycles and Bikes
Hope this helps for those looking for options.

i got my micargi mustang gts from jbikes.com it was 289.00 plus 80.00 shipping in the middle of putting it together. almost done fabbing the motor mounts and waiting on manic mechanic to get back up and running for the sprocket to mount to the 68 spoke wheels. also have purchased parts from sbp and jnmotors they both have been very helpful.
Hey, CH; Can bother you for the measurements of the Schwinn XL? PM me, and I'll tell you exactly what I need (to build one, since I can't find one).
Haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is well!

either that, or the measurements of a Micargi Mustang, or the Stretch Limo Cruiser (the one with the straight down tube... In fact, if anyone reading this can get this (measure yours, if you have one), I'd be grateful.
maciver, what dimensions are you asking for???
I have a Mustang and would be happy to take measurements for you
I have a Mustang and would be happy to take measurements for you
he wants the length from the seat tube to the down tube then the length of the down tube i bet thats the numbers most needs
It'll cost me over $100 to ship a frame here, I just found. I need a sketch of the entire frame, with the measurements... I'm going to have to build one. It won't be as pretty, especially welds! I'll have to find a supplier for dropouts, and I'll make a brain fork too! I wished I could afford that 125cc engine, it's what I wanted to do, after talking with Crazy Horse, ( had many conversations with him, on the phone... he's dropped off the radar though, hasn't been on here either). I didn't want to get a generic name, and I couldn't afford the Lifan right now, so I got the 212cc Harbor Freight Predator, for $99.
I saw how Sportsman Flyer cut his frame, took all the stuff off the motor (plastics & tank, etc) puts a custom drive train, air filter and more on his, but once I get my engine, I'll need to build a frame around it... pretty much. But the stretch cruiser is the look I want. If I could have all the measurements, every tube, (rough, not exact) then I'd have a starting point to begin building... I am even weighing building it out of PVC, then wrapping it in 3-4 layers of Carbon Fiber... but with the cost of vacuum materials, it's actually not a money saver!
Thanks for the offer, I look forward to your reply!

Maciver02,
Here's the measurements per your request:
Default XL measurements
I appreciate the measurements, thanks. Could I trouble you to measure the down tube (from headset to the bottom bracket) and the seat tube length? thanks!
The head tube to bottom bracket is 16-1/2" pic attached or click on link to my OCC Choppers Album.
Here's the direct link to complete album'
http://s978.photobucket.com/albums/ae265/ICrazyhorse/Crazyhorse Occ Stingray Build/
Checkout all the room the XL has for either 212cc harbor freight or Honda Pit bike dirt bike etc cloned engines.
The top tube is from head tube to rear triangle upper is 30" & bottom tube from bottom bracket to rear triangle lower is 22".
The reason I mentioned the Walmart Tandem is that it could easily be modified to a stretch cruiser, only if they"ll ship to PR.
Here's the link to walmarts Kent 21 speed Tandem Bicycle:
