Got this cool Electra Rockabilly Boogy from @5speed with the help of @OddJob, who we discovered only lives about 15 minutes away for 5speed.

That is one sweet and rare ride! You are going to dig it!
 
Just like the Straight 8, these look similar to the Rat Fink and other Electra choppers, but these are actually more of a typical foot forward cruiser riding geometry.
 
Any chance you still have and want to sell? Have been searching for replacement for super sentimental one stolen from me in New Orleans dozen years ago.

Sorry man, it's my go to rider. Never had a better riding bike than this one.

On a recent purchase I made, the owner had a Rockabilly Boogy (and a few other gems). He was not ready to sell it now, but has my card and will get up with me if he does. I'll post it up here if I get my grubbies on it.

Very thoughtful to share friend! Lookin for the adult size 26” wheels though this will make a big kid or short adult very happy on 24”

The adult size is the 24" wheels for these Electra attitude frames. The 24x3 tires are super fat and tall (like Felt Thick Bricks) and the resulting tire height is almost as tall as a normal 26 wheel and tire. None of the Attitude frames come with 26" wheels. If you are looking for a feet forward ride but require 26" wheels I would suggest the Electra Townie. Great bikes, but none of the cool styling that make the Rockabilly, Straight 8, Rat Fink, etc so slick.
I am 5'10 and the Rockabilly Boogy is the most comfortable cruiser I have ever rode. The geometry is just perfect for me.
 
I'll add to that too, the 20" is a fat tire too, 20x3, rides bigger than a twenty, I could almost ride it My lad is lanky, this compares to his 24" wheeled mountain bike.

Thanks for the detailed correction & rec. I misremembered sizing. I had the “Boogy” in ‘09 but was stolen (back home in Nola) unfortunately especially as it was my late fiancé’s. I’m 5’11” & he was 6’2” so fit us both nicely. He put ape hanger bars on his which was fun & worked with our extra long arms. I’m going to call some Colorado Spring bike shops & see who will box & ship this for me if dude is flexible.
