This a a bike that I have been working on for the last week and it is my second build.
I started with a Giant Simple cruiser that I bought off of Craigslist for $200. I love the simple lines of the bike. This bike was only ridden twice before the owner decided they didn't like it and bought a different style of cruiser!
I started with a 48cc 4-stroke kit. I added tire liners, and added a front brake, and swapped out the handle bars, and added a wide crank kit. I added a wireless bike computer to track speed and distance. I custom painted the tank using duplicolor spray paint from the local NAPA store. I painted the exhaust, engine cover, rear sprocket and the assorted brackets black or high temp flat black.
I want to modify the seat post to move the seat position back about 6 inches. I will need to swap out the wireless bike computer. It doesn't like speeds over 16 mph. I put on the 41 tooth sprocket that came with the kit though ordered a 36 tooth from KIng's Sales and Service. It arrived on Friday and is a true work of art. I may swap this over next weekend.
The bike rides great and turns a lot of heads. Great for crusin the neighborhood and trips to the local market.
