About this product
This vintage B.F. Goodrich (Schwinn built) cruiser from the 1940s-50s is a classic men's bicycle with a 26-inch wheel size and a durable steel frame. It features a unique 2-speed kickback gear change mechanism operated by pedals, and a reliable drum brake system. The bike comes in green, with clincher tires and no suspension. Practical additions include fenders, a kickstand, and a rear bike rack, making it suitable for leisurely rides. It weighs 60lbs and originates from the United States.
Our take
As a reviewer, I appreciate the authentic vintage appeal of this B.F. Goodrich cruiser. The steel frame and original styling really transport you back to the 40s or 50s. The 2-speed kickback system is a neat piece of retro engineering, adding to the unique riding experience. The drum brake provides dependable stopping power, fitting with the era's technology. However, at 60lbs, this is a hefty bike, so don't expect it to be nimble, especially with no suspension. It's truly a collector's item or a comfortable ride for flat, leisurely cruising, not for speed or rough terrain. The included fenders and rear rack are practical for its intended use.
