I ride my 86 GT 24, its lovely. My Cyclecraft 24 is a tad short, might have to go layback on it (shudder).







Or there are these!

Surely the answer is buy something cheap for now, put your name on the list for a brand new Curtis cruiser f&f and sling the bits onto that when it arrives ::)

Buy one and when it's done, just  flog the TA f&f Joff..... >:D

If I was gonna have a cruiser, it's a complete no-brainer. A hand crafted uber rare thing of beauty built to order it would be, and you could see it being made if you wanted to :daumenhoch:

My opinion is the 24" Floval

Ditch any idea of the horrible flexy shyte pram wheels and 26" should only be on a mountain bike  :daumenhoch:

Well the  chase is  over I got my 1st Cruiser today and built it up this afternoon.

I ve looked at loads of different models and  different budgets too,  there's no doubt there are some awesome 24" bikes out there, the Skyway 24" takes some beating and some the geometry just feels wrong for me.

I wanted a Cruiser and an attacking bike, one that could switch up when the mood took me really I do ride bikes that way. One minute sit and stroll the next I am off on one blasting round.

I narrowed it down to the 2014 SE 24" Floval Flier  the bike just suits me brilliantly  with geometry and gearing perfect for me and well in budget too  :daumenhoch: mind you Tinks been on it most of the Day and says it's her Rad rider for this year now..  :LolLolLolLol:

I am also up for a Curtis 24" if I can afford it...  "bump"
