Cool looking new bike

[Greystoke]

Spotted this one. Kind of a mix of old school and rat rod with a bit of urban bike thrown in. Brian.

Click on the links to their other bikes. Cruisers and stretchers. Neat stuff.

Yea, I have seen some of their bikes on the web before. Pretty cool! It does blend rat rod and urban a lot. Looks like something we'd try to build out of an old Fuji or something.

Kinda what I was thinkin' the old Schwinn Varsity , languishing in the corner, could become........and on the cheap, too!

Beautiful bike. I think i would need a chain ring about half that size on the front and some cogs on the back to ride it regularly.

My '72 BSA Pubman has 46/17 now , on a SA sgl. sd. coaster, not bad gears at all, and Im an out of shape fall chicken. I dont know what that bike has, but I, contrary to Sheldon Brown, really like coaster brake hubs (though I would also prefer a front brake as a safety feature).
All in all it is the type of bike that would fit right in here, though I always suspect the price, when stated 'on request', is beyond me. I think I could do the Varsity for about $100-150.

That Basman knockoff sure looks like a modded Micargi Royal stretch cruiser.

$???.00

$340.00

Yeah when they say price on request that normally means if you have to ask you can't afford it. I'd rather build my own, looks easy enough to do.

X2 on the coaster hubs. I love them. Although it'd be great if I could find a 3 speed Sturmey Archer with a coaster brake.

Thats exactly what it is, look at the rear fender mount. They are probably charging almost as much as a real basman for that .... thing to. I rather buy the tubing and build one to.
