This is the last Beach type Cruiser I did (~2011). It was an Electra Cruiser 1 (steel frame, single speed, 26in wheels) when I bought it. I kept the frame, front fork and seat post and replaced everything else. I converted the crank to a 3 piece and built new wheels with 24X3.0 tires on Brave Machine BMX rims. Rear hub is a Nexus 8 speed with a Roller Brake that has a huge heat sink. Shimano thought that would correct any brake fade due to overheating in heavy braking situations. Maybe it would, but I never experienced any roller brake fade even with the original non-heat sink version. Front disc hub and disc brake. New handlebar and Stream Ride saddle.
