We just completed a custom build for our friend. It is a 1954 Schwinn Ladies Cruiser. It was in bad shape, but we got it refinished with new colors and some new parts.

Up until this day, Schwinn bicycles are still produced. However, the classic Schwinn bikes made in earlier times have become a highly prized collectors item by Schwinn collectors and enthusiasts.
