The Spitfire was reintroduced as a heavyweight for 1977 and was sold through 1979 with reissue S2s that were made in Hungary. In 1980, Schwinn introduced the Cruiser Series which has survived multiple iterations and has been offered more or less continuously through present. The most desirable Cruisers are the Cruiser, Deluxe Cruiser and Cruiser 5.

We hope it helps bring everyone some positive wheel power on their outdoor adventures.”
The Cruiser 5 has
5-speed gears and hand brakes for greater versatility and range. 5-speed versatility, gutsy balloon tires and the reliability of the world- famous Schwinn cantilever frame. Forged steel front fork, heavy duty saddle and the “look” of a classic.
In postwar production, Schwinn began producing lightweights again in the mid 40s with models such as the New World. These bikes could be had with Sturmey Archer 3 speeds from England and had chromoly tubing. To popularize these bicycles they enlisted the help of Hollywood celebrities.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, bicycles imported from Great Britain and Continental Europe became popular, especially lighter and more nimble sports roadster models or “English racer”. These models featured three-speed gearing, taller wheels, narrower tires and lighter weight[11] and greater hill-climbing ability. By the late 1950s, U.S. manufacturers such as Schwinn ramped up production of the English racer.[12] Schwinn was no stranger to this style. Between the 28 inch wheeled track bikes that they built between the turn of the 20th century and the 1920s and the lightweight offerings they introduced in the 30s such as the Continental, Varsity and Superior, they knew their way around. These prewar bikes could be had with imported half inch pitch drivetrains with freewheels and hand brakes.
The women’s model will also come with a hand-woven wicker basket. The bikes are 99% assembled and include a quick assembly guide with all the tools needed to finish it up and get out and ride. One of the first uses of the term “cruiser” for motobikes may have been in the WW2 era, by Mead Cycle Co., who sold via mail-order bicycles of the brand names Ranger, Pathfinder and Crusader. The Crusader “Cruiser” model was the schwinn mountain bike high-end men/boy’s bicycle, and included additional features, such as front headlight, rear rack, and most importantly, the motorbike tank. The low-end model, (also described in ads’ fine print as a cruiser), was the crusader “chaser,” and the ladies’ the crusader “clipper” and ‘cutter” models to complete the nautical theme in the product naming scheme. Navy Cruiser ships were depicted in the Mead Cycle Co. ads.
If somewhat understated, yet functional comfort is what you’re looking for choose the Schwinn’s standard coaster brake Cruiser. Whitewall balloon tires and Electro-forge cantilever frame. By the late 70s, Schwinn reintroduced heavyweights, but this time with a blend of BMX parts.
Several years ago, California cyclists adapted the word “cruiser” to their world of sandy beaches, and enjoyed riding old
balloon-tired bikes along the ocean’s edge. The word “Deluxe” takes on a whole new meaning when used to describe the new 1980 Schwinn Deluxe Cruiser. This year’s new Spring
