My youngest son has been riding this Junior Cruiser which I bought a few years ago. If I'm to believe the stickers it's an aluminiun Ruption fitted with 170mm Sugino Maxy Cross cranks. It has 1.1/8th threaded forks with a 1" insert with an ART stem. Anyone know how old this bike might be?? Were they any good?? Humps

Thanks Kev, I forget the pics.

Its an early 2000 ish frame,
If you look at the rear drops there is a T stamped in there, Its actually a Trek cruiser,Rob from Ruption bought in a load of the frames thinking they were 20" but found out they werent

Cyclesport at Grantham had a few too.
Good frames,loads of people had them and did well on them

DINGO

ps, those tyres appear to be 24 by 1.3/8 primo's
-beware, as those rims are actuall 550mm
-whereas a 24 by 1.75 rim, is actually 530mm

-so a 24 by 1.75 wont fit that rim!!!!!!

bring out the etro!

and yes i have just measured a spopke and
-your are 10 inches-255mm
whereas the 1.75 are 230mmish

same as how a 20 by 1.38/18 is 451mm and a 20 by 1.75 is 406

-you think thems the same - but thems ain't!

You guys certainly are amazing with supplying info. Yes the tyres are indeed 1.3/8th on Sun Mistral rims and guess what, no spares but we'll cross that problem if one shreds. Can't see the "T" but now it's been mentioned I believe someone once mentioned the Trek connection. Thanks guys. Humps

PS: No-ones spotted the devil-pedals on it yet - where's Flemdog when you need him!!
