+===== 1985 Pro Cruiser =====
+Mid-80's resto-mod of a 1978/79 Pro Cruiser performed by a bike shop and originally sold as seen here.
+Pro Cruisers were often purchased as bare frames and customers decorated them with parts from every era.  This frame was heavily modified in the mid 80's.  Did it retain some original equipment or was it sold new with cantilevers and u-brakes?  Why then leave the 1970s era derailleurs and cranks?  Or was it originally sold in 1985 as is?  Given the divergent component mix and frame paint patina  - well, it's impossible to say.  For now, this will be classified as a 1985 resto-mod with nods to it klunker/bmx heritage.
+SunTour V-GT Luxe (1978-82), TA Pro 5 Vis Cyclotourist crankset (1970s), bmx stem and bars (other early Pro Cruisers had custom stems,)  horizontal dropouts, Cook Bros BB, BMX stem, SunTour Rollercam brakes (1985-88), brazed on cable guides, unicrown fork, MAFAC-like cantilever front brakes (no MAFAC logo,)
