Hi all, am nearly finished my first build (which I shall post later on in current projects, currently waiting on King headset) but am eager to start my next project, a cruiser.
I wondered if anyone has built a 'relaxed' bike and what the results were like.
I've seen a few Raleighs posted on the forum before - Dogsballs - which were particluarly nice.
In terms of my ideal set up, I have yet to decide, but I have to admit liking the style as evinced in the US, of the beach cruisers (See Electra Bike Company), although that said something a little like an old Raleigh is not out of the question. It would definitely be singlespeed and maybe have a coaster brake - that much I am certain of!
Any advice?
