Too late for you, but I picked up a LaJolla cruiser off of Craigslist for $30. Aluminum rims, and whitewall balloon tires. I was going to use it for a donor bike to build up a 1939 Schwinn I've had sitting in my garage way too long. But then I made the mistake of riding it, and decided I actually liked this Wally World special! N+1 strikes again.

That photo makes me want to buy! I did a complete teardown on the LaJolla. Everything is as good as it will get, but the coaster hub is draggy when coasting. Not too bad when pedaling. I've done my 24 mile commute on it five or six times.

Thanks for all your input Squidpuppet. Really appreciate your depth of knowledge. And I thought I was a cruiser geek!
