Questions for you stretch beach cruiser guys

Thanks for the feedback. What model Sun do you own? I checked the website and didn't see a stretch. What are your feelings about the quality of the GT-Dyno? They're discontinued, but I don't know if they're worth hunting for. How tall are you, and would running the seat up change "the ride?" Thanks.

For what it's worth, I decided against the stretch cruiser because of the hills where I live....very long steep hills, and the lack of versatility. So, the 49cc Honda and the Staton rack mount kit is going on the Raleigh Retro Glide 7, a standard cruiser, for longer journeys and "joyriding". As for a stretched bike, I ordered a Yuba Mundo utility bike which is designed to haul cargo and heavy things. It will be powered by an 400W/48v eZee electric front hub motor and will be used for local errand running and haulling groceries. Also, I have two sons that will also be using the bike. One is 6'3" tall (I'm 5'8) and the Mundo can easily adjust for him to ride as well. I'm not real crazy about going electric on a utility bike, but I think the slower speeds, lack of engine noise, and the discreet look will certainly help keep my boys out of trouble with the police and nosy neighbors. It seems to make sense for my situation anyway. Those stretch beach cruisers sure are lookers though....if I lived in an area with flat terrain, I'd have to have one.

My Sun is not badged with a style name, I think in the J&B catalog it was called the Sun Streatch. I don't see it in their catalog this year, it may be discontinued. The quality of the GT/Dyno/Kustom Kruisers, I think is great. My motobike is a Kuston Kruiser Duece that I have had no problems outside of upgrading fender brackets. I have ridden their Roadster and Slick Daddy models and they are both great bikes. BTW the Sun frame is aluminium compared to the KK frames that are steel....Kelly

I don't have a pic of the Streatch by itself, this is a shot that I took for another site just after aquiring the Electra Jeremy.

Thanks for the info Kelly. That's a VERY nice collection you've got there. I always appreciate seeing bikes photographed in their "natural environment," vs. the typical mfg's website shots. I get a much better idea of what the bike actually looks like. There's not one in your collection I wouldn't enjoy riding.
