A Rat City Rollergirls homage

We dialed this derelict punk styled beach cruiser for when you’re heading to the roller rink with storage for skates. Or grocery shopping with the detachable basket.

Build

  • Nice comfy Oury grips
  • A real bike saddle not a bench with springs
  • Better pedals
  • Nice crisp looking handlebar
  • Basket (with handle) detaches with the click of a button
  • Non-ridiculous tires for a plush but fast enough roll on asphault yet the tread could handle casual trails
  • Streamers are 40 gallon garbage bags upcycled, punk style

Cruisers are a 1930s classic design

Don’t write off the cruiser as a serious bike! The original mountain bikes in the 1970s where based on cruisers and balloon-tire paperboy bikes, like the Schwinn Excelsior.

Even hardcore modern lycra adorned roadies get their “brain rewired” riding a cruiser.
