Why on earth did Subrosa go with hi-tensile steel on their cruiser for 2011?
It's such a shame as the dimensions on this bike are really nice for a cruiser.

They didn't even bother to change the gearing for 24" wheels either. Specs say it's 25/9.
66.7 gear inches! That's gonna be a bit steep!

give it a few more years before all brands offering cruisers for non-race applications will follow the lead of liquid, wtp, and sunday.

IMO, a hi-ten bike shouldn't be more than $300.
