So yesterday Crashby stopped over after the ride, because he needed to install his new King headset and needed my tools. So we finished the headset install, and were just standing in the driveway shooting the breeze like a couple of rednecks.

And along comes this little kid, maybe 10 years old, riding one of the new Schwinn Stingrays. He had the happiest proudest look on his face I've ever seen on a kid. I live across the street from a school, he pulls into the school and rides past the girls on the swingset lookin' all bad ass. It was damn funny

 

[fuzzynutz]

we have those at work....they are much cooler with some old school big ass chopper handle bars on them......

 

[Acadian]

my bike shop has one of those on the show room floor...baddass!!!!

 

[stosh]

I want a cruiser so badly.

 

[Echo]

Maybe I'll pick one up tonight while I'm picking up a copy of Kill Bill 2 :devil:

I debated getting kill bill 2 as well. They have the cruisers at Wall Mart don't they.

 

[stosh]

I like this one

 

[Echo]

Oh man, that thing is BAD ASS.

 

[stosh]

I've been looking for an old one like this at a garage sale.
I will score one some day.

 

[stosh]

I'm not sure if it's this bike or one like it had an internally geared rear hub and to shift you turned the grips like the gas on a motorcycle.

If you are going to do it , you must do it right and build you own !

Here is Mine ( except now it has a Bigger sissy bar on it . )

and I still need to get a good set of ape hangers on it.

$170 msrp

 

[RhinofromWA]

$329 msrp and full sized for adults....this is cool in person.

 

[stosh]

yeah I saw the one I pictured above for the same price.

Maybe for christmas I'll ask for one.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Is a townie really cool if you paid more than $7.50 for it?

-S.S.-

Sweet. I give it

 

[Riff Raff]

I picked this up a couple weeks ago, Nirve 53.

 

[Bldr_DH]

No, see these are the things you have to make yourself. They're just THAT much cooler if you build it yourself.... like this one: (sorry for the pinkbike links... I don't have another way to host 'em)

Holy $hit - do they make those??!?

[Tweek]

I saw adult-sized bigwheels at Interbike a couple years ago, 'cept they weren't plastic.

Oh, and that one wins the badass award

 

[splat]

How did you get the fork like that?

Well the bike is made from 2 frames , and the fork is made
1 ) cut the dropouts from fork 1
2) cut the blades off of fork 2
3) cut chain stays off of frame #2
4) put chains stays over fork 1
5) but fork blade over end of chain stays
6) put a hub in the drop outs to keep spacing right
7) align by eye
8) have friendly Neighbor , who has a welding/brazing setup braze them together.

 

[chicodude]

Oh, and that one wins the badass award

i'd sport it


Giant did well

 

[downhillzeypher]

ill take the green RatFink one.

looks flexy.

 

[HRDTLBRO]

We have a few RatFinks at the shop. Quite fun to ride to Tally Ho's and pick up a BigHo burger. The green is hot.

 

[chicodude]

i want one bad, but i want a new fork worse.
