Schwinn Point Beach

[bmoody]

Just picked up a point beach last night and returned the junk avalon bike I had bought.

Got the 80cc motor paid for and being shipped. Cant wait to get the two together.

Look forward to sharing the progress along the way.

I got mine too...

I just got home with my Point Beach. Good points, nice finish, looks like good welds, and very light. Unhappy with the brake cables etc... Cheap. But the last bike I bought was a 1973 Suburban. MUCH difference in quality.

Are the cables on your point beach about a 6" too long?

They stick way the heck out on mine.

I built a Point Beach last fall with a Power King. I chose the point beach because it was one good looking cruiser. As you may know, the bottom motor mount clamp won't work because the frame is too big. I ended up using the "FRAME SAVER" that can be found on eBay. I can't recommend this product enough- it made life much easier.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the bike. Only problem so far was the rear hub had to be replaced...supposedly this is a common issue on Schwinn's.

And yes, the cables stick out a bit. A couple zip ties should clean that up a bit.

Did you use the large case adapter like the one sold by boygofast?

I'm just going to pick up the metal at the hardware shop and weld one together.

What would you charge me for one?

Motoschwinn-

No, I did not use the large case adapter on my Point Beach. It was the standard size (smaller) mount, which is why I needed the "Frame Saver." If anyone is interested I can find the seller's ebay username.

The bike was a dorm room build, so this option was better than going the fabrication route for me.
