But, for someone that doesn't know how to buy a bike or what the differences are...I think all they need to know is: 3 piece cranks, aluminum frame, and comfortable seat. This can be done for under $300 and as you have stated, there will be no need for a replacement bike or repairs. Some good info here.

It's about 10-12 years old, I guess. The owners weren't sure. It's made by OG Bicycles and has a crown in the logo. Anybody know of this old brand? I can't find anything about it on-line. But I love this black beauty and I'm fixing it up. I recently found an old cruiser on Craigslist in Portland, OR. It’s about 10-12 years old, I guess. The owners weren’t sure.

Sure there's reproductions and customs, but what about all the pre 1980 bikes? The real Cruisers! I've found the best place to buy cruisers is Craigslist, yard sales, flea markets and swapmeets. One speed is all you need! Boulder Dave Good advice but you missed the most important part, and the roots of Cruisers Bikes!
