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. The leather hub shiners have the Schwinn logo pressed into them. A couple of blue dice caps for the valve stems are a nice touch. Red, white, and blue handlebar streamers seemed to go with the style of the times.

Due to lack of sales, they discontinued the Cruiser Deluxe that year. It has features that were only offered on this bike. The new style cobblestone tires, the flipped-up fender lips, the chrome moly front end, and the painted-to-match rear rack, are one year only items.
I made sure this bike was as perfect as possible. Down the street was a school with a playground that had a swing. Before I was big enough to ride the bike, my grandmother would walk me down to the playground so I could swing on the swing a bit.
