Can’t decide if it’s a Broozer or a Croozer?

That surely is the desired result

Love it - that beach is calling out for cruising in style!

I totally approve of this. I very much want to ride your bike

Well - a funny thing happened on the way to the forum....

I spotted this Breezer Sky and picked it up the other day. I realise it is low end - but I didn't want something top end.
Having looked closer - it is almost perfectly original - as far as I can tell as it isn't in any catalogues

The Breezer stem is lovely with internal brake cable routing - very good condition Ritchey Megabites and Ritchey grips.
Very tidy Araya RX-7 rims on LX hubs.
Mostly LX kit with DX brakes - all the date codes are '91 - PE though to PJ.

So given that it appears so original - should I leave it exactly as it is?
Or do I carefully label and stash the original bits I take off it - at this moment just the handlebars and some cable outers - and stick some cruiser bars on it?
I read recently that JB's inspiration for his Breezers was the Schwinn paint scheme - and as I'm after turning this into more of a cruiser type ride - I thought this was kinda appropriate.

mine was originally LX then I replaced with mostly Suntour XC Pro. it rides like fast similar to my Ritchey P22 team bike
