Default Re: Questions for you stretch beach cruiser guys

I'm a cruiser guy, I have many for both pedaling and motoring. The standard cruisers will ride similar to what your used to on a mtn bike without the skinny rock hard seat and the steering is a bit less twitchy, great for riding long distances if you have the time. I also have a Sun streatch that rides like a dream, very comfortable riding position, geometry makes it great on curvy roads and would make a great motobike. Downfall to a streatch is pedaling up hills, the leverage is wrong, also your ride height is much lower than a regular bike and you are less visable to cars. Now I have found a happy medium that are styled like a standard cruiser and has a 4" streatch that makes the bike more comfortable to ride and the extra length enhances handling at 30mph. The two that I've used in the past are the GT/Dyno Kustom Kruiser frames and the Sun Custom Cruisers both very similar frames, there may be others also. Hope this helps...Kelly
