I don't know if my Felt Speedway2 is a Cruiser or a Fat bike (4" tires). I'm thinking it's more a Cruiser so will post a pic (here) after 10 posts.
Some nice looking bikes here folks! Cruisers have so much character and Soul......

My latest bike purchase....Felt Speedway2. It's almost twice the weight of the other bikes I own but its so relaxed and the 4" tires so comfy. Unfortunately, it draws a lot of attention......

Having attention drawn to yourself with a unusual bike isn’t a bad thing...I have met a lot of interesting people that way...I like to ride different and unusual bikes as well...they get a lot of people back Interested in riding again I think...I enjoy the reaction people when they see one of my bikes...enjoy the attention they bring...it’s all good...those zigzag tires are sick!

actually I stand corrected...my wife’s super deluxe has a SRAM 3 speed hub...i just assumed it was the same as my mullholland3i...interesting that they would use different hubs...

i thought it looked off my gear changing mechanism is on the right side of the bike yours must be on the left. Test rise them both. Stomp on the brake and see if either of them click when you do that My nexus clicks when I brake hard I don’t like the sound so I try to be smooth

The coaster brake on my nexus does make weird sounds if I really apply them hard...I apply a lot of grease to the brake shoes...that helps to quiet them..I should take my wife’s super deluxe for a ride and see how the SRAM coaster brake compares to the nexus

1980 Schwinn Cruiser
Here's a classic I scored today. Not completely stock but it has good bones and I don't think there's much to do to it. Primo BMX pedals, cool Wald fenderette's, lock on grips, sweet SR seat (with a tiny hole), chrome steel rims but not the originals, chrome chainguard, Chen Sheng knobbies, aftermarket bars and stem, and a cool fluted 7/8" seatpost. 75 whole dollars! I was the second caller and it looked like I was too late but the first guy sprung a leak in his plumbing and backed out so I got the call, Score!
Repainted but nicely done.

Kdogbikes.......... Please post pics and details on that rear hub. It appears to be a coaster brake hub with a freewheel? How's that work?

@Unapomer. The wheel set/ rear hub is from a dept store coaster brake bike. I’m thinking of going single speed and I had this wheel set on hand which also have big size tires. Original wheel is a 5 speed freewheel.
