Post pics of your cruiser/fixie/urban bike/piece of crap

Every so often I think I'd enjoy a cheapish steel cruiser, 26" bmx or single-speed rigid mtb for riding with the kids and relaxed weekend style commuting/errands.

Pondering a surly 1x1 build maybe.

Post what you've got. Bonus points for vintage.

My Skull Skates cruiser (Frame No. 1 of 4 prototypes):

My 1952 Schwinn that is clearly at 'project' stage:

My '91 steel Rocky Mountain Vertex which is also incomplete. I could get nerdy about NOS Syncros hubs but this probably isn't the site :lol:

Love the Skull Skates cruiser. Are you one of those vancitycruisers people?

my 1970 schwinn cruiser / fixie (depending on my mood). posted previously elsewhere, anyways: fat mode:

skinny mode:

What fork is that on the bike in fat mode?

Not a Shiver SC, not Halson…

mountain cycles suspenders; first inverted fork [HTML_REMOVED] disc brake. 2" of plush elastomeric travel.

Dang I knew it was vintage but not that vintage.

You find that used somewhere or have you had it since new?

bought it new ~1991 for my trimble. yes, my taste for exotic / weird shit is well rooted.

You need to do a thread of all the exotic weird bike stuff you've had.

Still have the Trimble? I think I saw that he is building them again.

I'm not going to lie. I am very gay for that bike.
:fruit:

Thanks. Well, I've joined their Facebook page and I think in this day and age that's all one needs to do. One isn't actually meant to ride these bikes surely? :lol: Joking aside, it gets plenty of Sea Wall usage in the summer with my wife.

I had a major boner for the Suspenders fork back in the day but had to settle for a 1st gen Answer Manitou with around 1 1/4" travel….and around 3" of torsional movement. Not that makes any sense, but you could put the brakes on pretty well by just steering hard….

It's a good time to get one. There is so much available out there now that 26" has taken over the fixed-gear freestyle world. The 1x1 had its heyday, but has long been superseded by more aggressive, cheaper, lighter options.

I've got an old early-90's Specialized Rockhopper with horizontal dropouts up in the attic awaiting a set of moustache bars and a Nitto Technomic. Should be able to have it rolling with scavenged parts for under $200. :D

My townie.

Do it. Hell, get as close as you can to cloning mine!
