I've built a couple of stretches. I do not reccommend Micargi. I currently have a Greenline and so far so good. Out of all the bikes I've built...the stretches seem the most comfortable. I've had my eye on a Kustom Kruiser on Ebay for $279 including shipping which I think is a very good deal. From what I understand...the Kustom Kruiser is a quality bike. This dealer evidently has several of them.NEW "GT Dyno" Kustom Kruiser Roadster, Black, Cruiser - eBay (item 200271459099 end time Nov-11-08 09:40:29 PST)

Red a little insight please: I have a Micargi Tahiti with the motor and it seems to be very well constructed. Even the guy at the LBS commented on its construction and he deals in very expensive bikes. Is there something different when you get the stretched models? Is the Greenline better constructed? I was thinking about the micargi stretch, from what you said, I am glad I waited.

I've had two Micargi frames fail on me. On one the weld failed and the other developed hairline cracks around the head tube. One of my threads/posts has pictures...I'll try to find it.http://motorbicycling.com/f15/redbs-...html#post38397

I love the Greenline and all chrome really sets it out there. How has it held up compared to the Micargi, mileage wise?

Looks like Spookytooth also carries the greenline stretch.

So far so good on the Greenline. I think Spooky's frame favors the Kustom Kruiser because of the straight down tube. The Greenline has a slight "S" shape.

I bought a Kustom Kruiser "Deuce" a few weeks ago for $150.00. The guy has 5-6 more. They're all new on his showrom floor.

It is a quality made bike! Unfortunately GT has discontinued this line.

I'm 6'2" and this bike works for me! It's going to make a great Motorbike!

I had thought about buying all of them...The store owner said I could have them all for $120.00ea. There are different models and colors.

I would go buy all that he has left if there is any interest from forum members that want to buy one. I have no idea what shipping will cost?
