Waiting on a chainring for this thing. I took it apart to build up my 20", now my 20 is apart, so I built the cruiser back up.
I've been doing some fakies in my driveway, it's pretty fun....

What bars are you running? I've been toying with the idea of replacing the 6"bars on my 24 with something taller.

Colony "Unlucky 13"s. 7.9" tall, 27" wide. 4 degree upsweep too. The grips are still a bit lower than most MTBs. My STP has a low a2c rigid fork, and it's right about the same height.

Thats a Mosh, right? If so my buddy snapped off his HT riding across the street. Probably a fluke thing but he was dressed up a little going to class (in college) and all of a sudden he was laying in the middle of the street with his bars and front end still in his hands.

If its not a Mosh I apologize for the story :-)

That's gorgeous!
What's the intended use?
Street/park, maybe a little dirt jumping.

Yeah, it's a Mosh. I've already abused it a bit, and the headtube is still there! The welds look pretty good to me, so I feel fairly safe on it. :D
Scary story though.... hopefully a fluke occurrence.

Nice. What are the measurements on that thing? TT, st, cs, bb height, ha, etc...
TT 22"
ST 10" 71.5 degrees
CS 16" (tire barely clears chainstays at this length)
BB 11-3/4"
HA 74 degrees

Here's what it looked like when I rode it during the summer of '07

looks nice! do the handlebars feel high or like they are pushing into your chest when you go up steep transitions or jumps?
No, the bar height is not bad at all. They are still lower than the fairly low bars on my STP. (low a2c rigid fork) The BB is actually a tad higher on the Mosh as well.

After 6wks out with jacked ribs I got to break in my Fit cr24 at Rays today:biggrin: The 6" bars that come stock had me hating life, so I took a quick drive over to Chenga World hoping they had some taller bars in the stock. Wouldn't ya know, I walked out with the Colony unlucky 13's as well. Riding the tall bars brought my bike to life, thanks for posting when you did Duck!




I even saw Jim Cielencki riding the green model C, damn sexy bike.

Here's another coincidence for you, I just got back on my bikes after breaking some ribs too. Mine took nearly 3 months though..... It sucks to be old!
