Nirve V3 Kustom

[Jeffro1973]

Very unique Nirve Cruiser. I have only seen one other . Everything is custom painted Including Nirve logos . It’s freshly serviced front to rear . New 24” ...... rear and ...... 26” front tire, skull grips and chain. Titanium and stainless fasteners through out . Nexus 3 speed . I don’t know the history on the bike but would be interested to know why Nirve made such a custom bike . $375

Cool bike! They made them to try and compete with the Electra, Felt, and Phat Cycles that came out in the early to mid 2000s.

Don't mean to hijack your post, but that is an amazing bike. There is some history to talk about with that bike.

I saw it on offerup and saved it just because it takes me back to the late 90's early 2000's.

I don’t know all the history, spending endless hours on the web, there were a total of 3 other Nirves that were pretty similar. My friend who was a prototype Electra bicycle engineer, thought that Nirve made a handful of these for dealerships as a promotional tool in the beginning of the the company. Electra did this as well . Cost of just the Kustom paint would far exceed the retail cost of the bike .
