I'll get one someday.
Here's the 2018 version.

Still made in the USA, so it's priced accordingly, but still far (far far far far far far) cheaper than an original

Here is one of my favorite cantilever frames,it is a Huffy "Daisy Daisy" Tandem.I really like the way the twin tubes recurve to go from the male to female style seating position. Great flow.View attachment 130974

They also stretched it out to give the stoker some room.
 
My favorite riding bike is because of the laid back angles of the head and seat tubes, AMF made in the 50's and 60's:

The earlier CWCs may have the same angles, I'd have to compare them, but they weren't cantilever.

That 'vega is pretty cool, I can't seem to find any information about it. All the Landrovers I'm finding are diamond frame. Is there any indication of frame material? They were known to use some decent chromo back in the day
 
All my bikes are used for performance, regardless of intent. I want to be able to go wherever on my cruiser too!

*Edit: Vintage tandem is the exception!

I believe they are the same as the old CWC’s, and if not, they are very close.

I like the look of the chain stays on the non canti CWC with the curve. I wonder how much extra bb drop that translates to vs the canti, and how much the feel of the bike changes because of it.

Yeah, I was looking for info and saw the BMX version of the Landrover. I looked but there was no frame material decal on the frame,I can see you point on the chromo though as I had a NOS BRC cantilever frame that was chromo and I made it into a 26" style BMX single speed freewheel bike and it was a lot of fun.
