Schwinn Mesa Runner
My nephews wanted a cruiser to use at a shore rental this summer. I picked up this Schwinn for them, since its the right size. I already lubricated the bearings, and I'm working on the cables. New. more road-friendly tires will be added along with a rear rack.
Any other suggestions? Seems like a nice solid ride.

Oil or wax the chain and depending upon what you or your nephew likes, new grips. Otherwise, it looks like a good bike, I like it.

Take a look at the Maxxis DTH tires. They work great for a beach cruiser and look amazing.

That's a good, simple, strong bike.
Big Red
I just bought a blue painted twin to the red Mesa Runner I modified to use in the Clunker Challenge #5 . I'm amazed at how much I like "Big Red".
