Hello from Latvia

[MAD_DOG_LV]

Hi
One month ago, we got sick with a cruiser-style bike mania.
First, the mother was present gift: Electra Amsterdam.
Then my father bought the Electra Deluxe, which I more driving than father.
Then I found a Kustom Kruiser (Dyno) but when i drive it, I decided to present it in my wife birthday as a gift. The frame is shorter for Dyno than the Deluxe.
And this winter, I plan to find the bike for myself.

While you're waiting for the kind of bike you're looking for to buy, why not see if you can find some other old bike and customise that? You can make sweet things from old diamond frame bikes... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27301 There are photos of two bikes in that thread, both are beautiful! Look around the boards some more and you'll find more fine examples.

Thanks, but i not in love with dimond frame. Cantilever is not so popular here, becouse in soviet time was only one option for frames - dimond frame
Also i all time seeking for bikes who come used from belgium/netherland/denmark for some interesting frame or complete bike.

Still without bike

But some new bike in our family:

Brother's Dyno, bought as allways for myself, but someone take it away.... (bro loves scrached bike, when will not worry about new ones)

My son love's ride with front view and springer fork....

I sold wife's KustomKruiser, and bought brand new electra townie Lilac with custom flower tires, stock fender set (that was big mistake, becouse stock tire are 2 inch wide, so fender set have some work). cruiser rear rack (customized)
Wife's 'lilac''
