Apparently the bride and groom buy each other something. Anyway Aubrey asked me what I want and I said a new Cruiser Bike.

So I've been doing some research and these are the contestants.

Suggestions are welcome!!
I'm also looking to buy on for Aubrey in pink and suggestions are welcome on that as well.

from the looks of it you need to ride the bike you have :redhot:

 

[Dirty]

[Changleen]

The Kona is way cooler than the other two.

Yeah I know, we go to the beach a lot and for when we go camping and stuff cruisers are great.

 

[partsbara]

seriously... i like the kona more... have you felt the weight of bikes like this ?? they are pigs and unless you plan to ride it somewhere pancake flat, they are a hassle... the rubber alone weighs loads and thats rotational weight (think pushing shizza uphill)...

good for cruizing along venice beach (read posing)... but not real practical...

get a nomad instead

[bluebug32]

tell her to go to Overlook in woodstock and buy you a Kona. Then we'll let you into our secret cool club....

what are you getting her?

Actually it's customary for the bride to purchase the groom a DH bike along with a lifetime of get out of jail free cards.

I've dealt with Kona Humuhumunukunuku Apua'a Deluxes, and I can vouch for them being as fine a cruiser as any on the market.

 

[stosh]

This is what I want to get for Aubrey but there aren't any dealers locally.

 

[stosh]

or this one

 

[Konabumm]

I vote KONA - you know me die hard kona fan

 

[fluff]

The Kona does it for me. I'd be tempted to go for a lightweight steel singlespeed myself though.

I like the flair on cruisers and I really want fenders......

 

[jacksonpt]

I love the stuff from Electra. IMO, they make some beautiful cruisers.

Felt makes great road bikes, but I'm not crazy about the rest of their stuff.

The Kona is ok.

 

[stosh]

yeah I think I like the electra the best.

But I like the bash guard on the kona, makes me think of Mtn biking.

 

[LOOnatic]

Seriously how often is that kinda bike gonna get ridden?
Everyone i know that bought one rode it for a week and now collect dust.

 

[stosh]

The schwinn I have now gets ridden quite a bit.

 

[Tame Ape]

Get a rescue! Make sure you go to a shelter that has a no kill policy too! It'l thank you with years of love.

 

[MMcG]

Stosh - there is a dealer here that sells Nirve bikes.

The Cutting Edge in Berlin CT - perhaps they could strike you a deal on a pair of his and hers.

Ok, I'll look into it.

 

[stosh]

My LBS is looking into getting either of the 2 bikes above for Aubrey.

If he comes thru I'll owe him a 6pack.

 

[Tame Ape]

One of these came through my LBS/shop with a different paint job, pretty cool really. Everything is oversized on it. Not sure on the pricing though.

Damn I would have loved to see one.

normally i'd agree w/ you but i think BAH and his wife are the exceptions.

 

[Tenchiro]

I saw the first two at Copelands sports a few weeks ago. They seemed very cool for the price.

That doesn't make sense.... they're the exception that proves the rule right?

 

[Tame Ape]

It was cool, it was also the 'Hot Wheels' model! The tires were at least 3" wide and a super old-school motorcycle tread.
