Hi guys. I want to make a review of a new style of cruiser frame after installing an engine kit on it. Its new where I am, from Canadian Tire and Superycle, that replaced their "Jaguar" style frames earlier this year. They call it Classic Cruiser 26-in Comfort Bike
This is the bike I'm talking about:
Now upon looking at that pic the first time, I thought "okay, so they put a derpy little bar by the head stock, big deal, ...pass."
Right? To be honest, at first glance it just looks like another cheapy cruiser bike. But last week I got my hands on one, and I gotta say I was very surprised, for a $160 bike at least. Lets take a closer look at this steel framed jem.

The very first thing I have to mention is this:
Look at that again. There's a huge support on the left-side dropout area. Not on the pedal side, the motor drive side!
That's wild, eh? Here's a closer look:
Note that their were no chain clearance issues whatsoever. Not a one. The extra bolt on the idler bracket is a drilled/tapped shorty-lock-bolt, it doesn't go all the way through.
Next, lets have a look at the other ends of the stays. The chainstay's are substantial all the way forward, and are a "vertical oval shape", so I probably don't even need the idler bracket lock-bolt, but better safe than sorry.
I'll let the seat-stay to seat-post mounting speak for themselves:
They're huge! And properly butted against the back of the seat post, instead of welded onto the side of it. Major fail point avoided, major points for Supercycle. (Note the welded mounting nuts for the heavy-duty rack that came with it)
Continued in Post #2...

HAHahahaa Honestly: Thats a good looking bike in so many ways. Looks like a HS 4 stroke would go in there with no problem also! Very nice review and a nice heads up for us. Ima gonna doo some searching and see if these can be had in the States. That extra bracing in the rear is very cool and its good to know their are reasonalby priced options out there besides the thin walled Wally world poo. Thanks for the good lookout killer! PS: Only bout 60deg F here today; and freezing my a$$ off.
