  • Update on my Schwinn Point Beach pseudo-classic cruiser. Seven speeds means I get around town at a good speed with ease.
    Bike has been accessorized in the past year with a retro-style bullet headlight, UFO-style accelerometer/light/vibration sensing tail-and-brakelight, vintage bicycle license plate, chrome airplane toy with spinning propeller (that I clumsily broke off), cycle computer, vintage-looking soda crate for storage, and a smartphone holder that I use to retain my transistor radio.

    Cool idea for securing the box. Love the retro box to create the total look too. Very nice.

    Those handlebars are way better than the wrap around "beach Bars" my earlier style Point Beach bikes came with. I fixed up a blue and white one for my brother with bars like yours. Nice Ride

    I loved the look of that bike in your first video. The crate is just too cool on there! That bike looks super sweet, man!
    I'm dying to get one now. I'll probably get the Sanctuary 7 since I can't find many other classic cruisers around

    What a great, practical yet sharp looking ride! I’ve got a similar one on order and picked up the same wood crate. It’s $10 now at Joann’s. With wood prices so crazy it’s a wonder it wasn’t even higher. I like the shape and size more than a milk crate. This crate is a little shorter and narrower, but a little longer. I notice yours is slid back a little from the seat. I know you did that for a reason so I’ll be checking the fit as I install mine. Thanks for the vid even these many years later.

    I'd be concerned vandals would make off with the various bits on the bike if you left it unattended in public for any length of time.

    Got the sanctuary 7 from this guy aftermarket for cheap and the only issue i had was the back was a bit bent on the cargo holder, but nothing too bad, it was basically brand new other than that

    Nossa, que bike brega !! A princípio achei que fosse uma caiçara beach brasileira. Mas parabéns pela criatividade.

      You can get them on eBay. There's even a couple of sellers who make up custom ones. One seller has a stamping machine that lets you make custom stamped plates instead of just flat lithographed ones. The lithographed plates allow you more flexibility though, because the stamped ones are always going to be yellow-on-blue. Or you can just find a legit antique plate, there are so many they go for like $10 (depending on condition of course).
