Hey Chaps... long time no see.

About to move into a new place with a garage all to myself !!!, and fancy building something old school as a London runaround !!! i.e. not too expensive or flashy so it wont attract too much attention !!! l may rob all the nice-ish black parts off my custom burner I have already to save on costs and to speed up the process.

I'd quite like to go chrome. What would be a good choice, price wise, & to make for a good ride ? I remember my ammaco I used to own had such a long frame which I real liked and made for a comfy ride. So what out of these would also fulfil those requirements ? comfort and affordability are the main goals here.

Initial considerations : Mongoose Californian, Kuwarhara KZ1 / Hot Heart ?, Hutch Pro Racer, etc etc ? these would be my preferences.

I'm so out of the loop atm, Suggestions

thanks in advance.
Owen

Pro racer is a nice ride to ride

That'd probably be my top choice. What would fair game for one these ?

Weren't there variants made in different parts of the world... ? either ways the cheapest is what I'd be after ....

the cheapest option would be a Goose Cali

and even that ^^^ won't be cheap

Lots of choice out there still and some good bikes about, for a rider I'd be looking at something long in the top tube, Caifornia's can be a little short (expert sized really) but the Kuwie would be a nice choice
