Changed the General up abit when I took the Trail Mate apart. I think the blue bits do the pearl white frame colour well.
this one will go down to Surf City for beach cruising duty.

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a Happy New Year!
our warm weather has me riding the Jamis Earth cruiser all over town. Appropriately decked out like the Jeep as well!
FYI, getting my license after over 2 decades of not driving. It’s time to start again.

Was sad to see this one go but I released this back into the wild 2014 New Belgium Felt, taken before I added Cans Cult Grips.

Dont know if this constitues as a cruiser or alt bike. Ive been wanting one of these since I first saw one in like 05 or 06. Fund it on the marketplace for cheap it was super dirty when I picked it up, lots of cleaning got me to this.

Electra Cruiser 7. Got the frame in a dumpter, found some wheels and abnormally large 26" tires and a seat from an exercise bike in my pile o parts. It was hard to ride in anything past 3rd gear so I put a front chainring from a kids bike withthe original crank and it worked perfectly. Added a basket and rack again from the pile and found it a new home with an Uber Eats delivery guy here in Brooklyn. .

Everything looks better without fenders but a Panama Jack looks perfect. Was given this bike because the front fender was bent and touching the wheel

I was driving back to NY from Nashville and when I stopped to eat, i opened Facebook marketplace and there was a post that said "Old bike $10". I sen't a message and they told me to get the bike and leave the $10 under the doormat. I took this Hiawatha 5 speed to Brooklyn. These were never old here so it is quite unique.

Picked up this Nel Lusso without no bottom bracket, cranks etc. A mid 70s Huffy with peeling paint and a non operational 3 speed internal hub donated what I needed.

This was abandoned by the beach in Far Rockaway. Salt air destroyed everything but the aluminum frame and fenders. I think it came out ok with parts from 4 different bikes

The pink tires I took off the black bike below look much better on this Schwinn.

This was a Walmart bike in a box missing a bunch of parts and with a taco'd front wheel and pink tires. I thought there was enough pink on it so the tires went on the Schwinn above. It had no shifter so i put ahalf a 1970s 10 speed friction shifter from a Centurian on it. Black wheel from my pile o stuff and it came out nice

Currently I own 2 bikes, both cruisers. The old
Townie is my grocery bike, this one is for riding around the neighborhood. I am grateful to BF for answers to questions as I was fixing them up. This one got new handlebars, new tires, and a hand brake (Thank you Trek for advice on buying and installing the brake). And a few decorative fripperies.
